Wolf Pack One Attack Away from Consequences

Umatilla Wolf Pack STOCKSALEM, OR — One of Oregon’s wolf packs is one livestock attack away from a potential kill order.  The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the Umatilla Pack west of Pendleton is responsible for killing a sheep last week in a private pasture.  Two other attacks occurred in earlier in the summer.

The state cannot kill a wolf unless three conditions are met:

  • There must be hard evidence that the pack is responsible for four livestock attacks over the past six months.
  • The owner has taken non-lethal steps to protect its livestock.
  • Wolf attacks are likely to continue even with more non-lethal protections.

The rules were adopted last year as a result of a lawsuit by conservation groups.
