Washington State eliminates wolf pack
September
2102. Washington State Senator Kevin Ranker, who is the chairman of the
Washington State Senate committee that oversees The Department of Fish
and Wildlife (WDFW), has issued a terse letter to the WDFW describing
its recent decision to exterminate an entire wolf in Washington State as
"a serious failure."
The Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) undertook the extermination of the pack of wolves in
Northeast Washington and an agency marksman killed the pack's alpha male
just south of the Canadian border. The alpha male wolf was shot from a
helicopter; it was the last of the six of wolves from the Wedge Pack
that were killed by the ‘Wildlife' Service, including the alpha female.
Ranker's
letter outlines "deep concerns" over Fish and Wildlife's management of
the Wedge Pack. He points out that state guidelines require ‘non-lethal
methods of wolf management' be used first, something he said did not
happen.
