He praised the ranchers’ cooper- ation. Jack Field, vice president of the Washington Cattlemen’s Association, said Tuesday he sees steady progress in acceptance among ranchers in working with the department and using nonlethal methods to avoid conlict with wolves. Many producers, he noted, are successfully operating in what is once again wolf country, after the carnivores’ more than century-long absence. Wolves were exterminated in Washington in the early 1900s. Wolves began recolo- nizing the state in 2008, when the irst packs were conirmed in Washington, from popu- lations in Idaho and British Columbia. There were about 90 wolves in the state as of early 2016, most of them documented in packs in north- eastern Washington. Since mid-July, WDFW has conirmed that wolves from the Profanity Peak pack have killed or injured six cattle and probably ive others. The state’s policy authorizes “lethal removal” after conirming that wolves have preyed on livestock at least four times in one calendar year, or six times in two consecutive years. Department staff had killed six of the 11 members of the Profanity Peak wolf pack as of last Friday. Remaining were two radio-collared adults, used by the department to track the wolves, and several pups. Wild horse roundup canceled due to wildire released after the females were given a contra- ceptive to slow the herd’s growth. The planned August roundup was also aimed at protecting sage grouse habitat and ire restoration projects. The group Friends of Animals has iled the lawsuit arguing the roundup was ordered without an environmental review. It has with- drawn its motion for a temporary restraining order due to the cancellation. Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Oficials for Wash- ington State University on Wednesday issued a statement disavowing Wielgus’ original comments regarding the wolf den. “Some of Dr. Wielgus’ statements in regard to this controversial issue have been both inaccurate and inappro- priate,” Washington State University said in the press release. “As such, they have contributed substantially to the growing anger and confusion about this signiicant wildlife management issue,” the Pull- man-based school said. “The statements do not in any way represent the views or position of Washington State University or the WSU College of Agri- cultural, Human, and Natural Resources Sciences. These statements are disavowed by our institutions.” Wielgus is an associate professor and director of the Large Carnivore Conservation Lab at WSU. That rancher and another producer with cattle near the Profanity Peak pack had been taking steps recom- mended by the department to avoid conlict with wolves, Martorello has said, from deploying range riders to picking up carcasses to avoid attracting wolves, and turning out calves when they were 2 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. Didn’t receive your paper?

The Capital Press reports that the cancel- lation stalls an ongoing lawsuit by an animal right’s group looking to block the roundup. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management had planned to gather 100 of the herd’s 200 horses near Jordan Valley.

WORLD CITIES Subscriber services: For home delivery, vacation stops or delivery concerns: 1-800-522-0255 SEATTLE (AP) — The killing of a pack of wolves in northeastern Washington to protect cattle is producing death threats for people on both sides of the emotional issue, The Seattle Times reported Wednesday. Researcher Rob Wielgus of Washington State Univer- sity this week declined further comment on the pending elimination of the Profanity Peak pack by hunters for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, citing the death threats. “My friends in WDFW have received death threats. It’s gone tooooo far,” Wielgus wrote in an email to the news- paper. Last week, state Rep. Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda, told the newspaper that cattle producers also were receiving death threats in the wake of the controversy. Wielgus said last week the conlict with wolves was inevitable because one of the ranchers involved had turned out his cattle on top of a known wolf den. Wielgus was challenged on that claim Monday afternoon by Conser- vation Northwest, a nonproit environmental group, which said it heard the cattle were turned out ive miles away from the den and that the den was not in use. Asked to respond Monday, Wielgus wrote: “I can’t under- stand this. Of course the den was in use and I have many photos of cattle on the den. What gives?” W sh pc pc pc s pc pc pc pc pc s pc pc s sh pc s c pc sh pc pc c pc sh pc c NATIONAL WEATHER TODAY Fri.

The ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals applies to the nine Western states that fall under the court’s jurisdic- tion, including California, Washington and Oregon. It came in a lawsuit iled by S. Rowan Wilson, a Nevada woman who said she tried to buy a irearm for self-defense in 2011 after obtaining a medical marijuana card. The gun store refused, citing the federal rule banning the sale of irearms to illegal drug users. Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has told gun sellers they can assume a person with a medical marijuana card uses the drug. The 9th Circuit in its 3-0 decision said Congress reasonably concluded that marijuana and other drug use “raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associ- ated.” The court also concluded that it’s reasonable for federal regulators to assume a medical marijuana card holder was more likely to use the drug. Wilson’s attorney, Chaz Rainey, said there needs to be more consistency in the application of the Second Amendment. He planned to appeal. “We live in a world where having a medical marijuana card is enough to say you don’t get a gun, but if you’re on the no ly list your constitutional right is still protected,” he said. The 9th Circuit also rejected other constitu- tional challenges to the ban that were raised by Wilson, including her argument that her gun rights were being stripped without due process. Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the idea that marijuana users were more prone to violence is a fallacy. “Responsible adults who use cannabis in a manner that is compliant with the laws of their states ought to receive the same legal rights and protections as other citizens,” he said.
