Conservationists call for action on Northwest wolf poaching

In this undated photo released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shows a dispersing wolf from the Oregon Pack OR-54. The past two years have seen a big increase in wolf poaching cases in the Northwest. Four dead wolves were discovered in the northeastern corner of Washington state in February 2022. That followed the poisoning of eight wolves in eastern Oregon in 2021, along with the poaching of a total of eight wolves in Idaho last year. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service via AP, File)
