Sheep-killing wolves on hit list
The Associated Press
LIVINGSTON, Mont. — Federal biologists plan to kill three members of the Lone Bear wolf pack to scare the pack away from an area where wolves killed at least 17 sheep on two Paradise Valley ranches.
ýýý The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also issued kill-on-site permits to the two ranch owners and another adjacent landowner, allowing them to kill up to two wolves each on their ranches about 13 miles south of Livingston.
ýýý “If the problem continues, we remove wolves until the problem stops or there’s no wolves left” in the pack, Ed Bangs, a federal wolf recovery coordinator, said Friday.
