Wallowa County Chieftain News wallowa.com September 16, 2015 A5 LETTERS: Readers sound off about health clinic, wolves Continued from Page A4 than are killed by all the preda- tors put together. Ranchers can take common- sense, non-lethal precautions to reduce their losses, particularly when they are operating on pub- lic lands. And when a wolf does transgress against livestock, there are legal remedies allowed to address the problem. California has acted respon- sibly by ensuring protection for gray wolves in their state and by convening a stakeholder work- ing group to contribute to its wolf management plan. They are right to plan ahead to make these newly returning neighbors welcome.

Is closing, opening and then again closing roads a good use of tax dollars? Are the new bills in Congress going to be paying for these sorts of things?
