A collared, black female wolf was found dead in Northeast Oregon, making her the 10th wolf illegally slaughtered in the state in the past year. She joins another collared wolf that was found shot and a pack of 8 wolves that were discovered to have been poisoned intentionally in 2021. The onslaught of wolves is horrifying and is pushing the species further towards inevitable extinction if we do not shift our attitude towards wolves and extend them the much needed protections of the Endangered Species Act.
In the case of the female wolf who was illegally shot in Oregon, a whopping $22, 500 US dollars is being offered for information that leads to an arrest. This money was generated by conservation and animal welfare groups to hold someone accountable for the illegal slaughter. There must be justice in these incidents in order to send a clear message that illegal hunting of wolves is a crime and is intolerable. We must also really focus our attention on educating these areas that are prone to wolf hunts / poaching on the importance of wolves in an ecosystem. Disaster strikes habitats when we decimate the predatory animals; we set off a chain of events that causes so much human manipulation of the animal kingdom. I will update this story as it unfolds. Justice must be served! HAPPY VEG
