Not only that but Wildlife Servies has authority to destroy any wolves seen predating on livestock.
But they're not using it in many cases. Ranchers have had to require a lot of proof and have had to wait, only to have the officer merely re-locate the wolf - if he finds it. And to wait until the kill - are any wolves not going to eat animals?
Many Ranchers are taking things into their own hands now, after several years of many of them giving the officers a chance.
As far as I know, ranchers have always been allowed to kill any wolf they see attacking thier livestock. Wolves are killed up here on a pretty regular basis and they are NOT relocated. In fact I've never heard of a wolf that attacked livestock being relocated. Could you please let me know your source for that?
