California sierra gray wolves pack livestock killings.

Wildlife crews have stopped actively searching for two juvenile gray wolves in Northern California’s Sierra Valley. These wolves were part of the Beyem Seyo pack, which preyed on livestock last summer, alarming residents and frustrating ranchers. Last year, the pack killed or injured at least 92 calves and cows. In October, officials euthanized four wolves from the pack after livestock attacks that they called “unprecedented.” Despite efforts to capture the remaining wolves, officials have not succeeded. Ranchers are frustrated and suggest allowing people to hunt wolves that attack livestock. Gray wolves are protected under California’s Endangered Species Act.
