In Washington, Opposition Mounts to Notorious Federal Program’s Attempt to Grab Wolf-killing Powers

In December the U.S. Department of Agriculture/ APHIS Wildlife Services published a draft “environmental assessment” proposing to broaden its authority to assist the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife killing wolves in response to livestock depredations.
