WA Fish and Wildlife authorizes killing of one wolf after suspected cattle attacks
Washington will permit the killing of a single gray wolf in the state’s northeastern corner following three suspected attacks on livestock.
The incidents took place in the Aladdin Valley, a forested rural area northeast of Colville in Stevens County. On Sunday, May 17, authorities investigated one calf that was killed and another that was injured. The next day, they examined another injured calf. The Department of Fish and Wildlife said the injuries were consistent with a wolf attack.
Kelly Susewind, the agency’s director, issued the wolf kill order Friday afternoon.
State wildlife managers, who are responsible for bringing back gray wolf populations to a level where they are no longer considered endangered, do not know which wolf or wolves attacked the calves. Three packs inhabit the area.

It usually takes more than one wolf to take livestock down. This article doesn't make a lot of sense.
