Cattle-Killing Wolves Euthanized in California by CDFW
In Sierra Valley, California, three wolves responsible for numerous cattle killings were euthanized after ranchers faced over six months of attacks, marking the first such action by state officials in over a century. Despite the wolves being protected under endangered species laws, wildlife officials determined their removal was necessary to prevent further livestock losses and potential encroachment into residential areas. Ranchers have reported significant emotional and financial stress due to the attacks, with calls for improved compensation processes for their losses.
