Heath Albert Horn, 34, and
Stephanie Rose Barker, will each
be heading to prison after being
found guilty in unrelated cases.
Horn will be going to prison
for 50 months after he failed to
comply with the conditions of
his parole.
In September 2018, Horn
trespassed into a home on 26th
Street in La Grande with the in-

crime, according to his court re-

threatened the woman who lived
at the home, resulting in a do-

whom he was ordered not to

A proposal to strip gray
wolves of their remaining
federal protections could
curtail their rapid expan-
sion across vast swaths of
the U.S. West and Great

remarkable turnaround
for an animal once nearly
exterminated across the
Lower 48 states. Now
more than 6,000 gray
wolves live in portions of
nine states.
Authority over wolves
would revert to state wild-
life agencies with no ob-
ligation to maintain cur-
rent numbers. Critics say
that amounts to a death
sentence for thousands
of the animals, shrinking
well-established popula-
tions and preventing wan-
derers from carving out
new territory.
The track record sug-
gests otherwise in parts
of the Northern Rockies,

When legal wolf har-

Montana’s wolf num-

peak over the last several
years before increasing in

Meanwhile, packs from
the Northern Rockies
have spread into neigh-
boring Oregon and Wash-
ington, where they had
been absent for decades.
A small number have also
taken up residence in Cal-

Collette Adkins, a
Minnesota-based senior
attorney for the Center
for Biological Diversity,
acknowledged dropping
federal protections would
not drive wolves to extinc-
tion, despite earlier saying
the proposal “was a death
sentence for gray wolves
across the country.”
But she said their re-
covery would “come to a
screeching halt” as hunt-
ing and trapping are al-
lowed in more states. That

Hunting, trapping or
both were allowed in the
region at various times
between 2012 and 2014
before a federal judge shut
them down by returning
wolves to the endangered
species list. State sur-
vey data for the Western
Great Lakes showed at
least modest wolf declines
during the period.
Wolf advocates attrib-
uted the drop in Min-
nesota to hunting and
trapping. Dan Stark, of
the state Department of
Natural Resources, said
a more likely explanation
was a 30 percent decline
in deer, the wolf’s primary
prey. Either way, wildlife
managers say the popu-
lations in all three states
remained strong.
If hunting is allowed,
debate is likely over
whether to maintain wolf
numbers or seek cut-
backs. Some farmers hope

some scientists say hunt-
ing and trapping makes
livestock a more tempt-
ing target for wolves be-
cause it disrupts the pack
cohesion needed to bring
down swift or bulky prey
like deer, elk and moose.
Some Wisconsin groups
are pushing to reduce
their wolf population to
350 from about 900.
“If we’d kept them at
that number, I think al-
without federal protec-
tion, wolves won’t return
