This month, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed 13 wolf depredations on livestock. Two of the most recent depredations occurred last week by OR103 in Klamath County on a private land allotment in Doak Mountain.

With the gray wolf remaining on the Endangered Species List, it’s left ranchers with few options to defend herds against these predators.

This week the federal appeals court ruled the gray wolf will remain protected on the Endangered Species List. Who will protect our livestock?
