SALEM — The state Department of Fish and Wildlife says wolves killed
eight sheep and injured two flock protection dogs in northeast Oregon.
The agency told the Capital Press newspaper in a statement that it's the first time protection dogs have been hurt by wolves.
The attacks occurred Monday night and Tuesday night on public land. The wolves were from the Mount Emily pack, one of eight documented packs in Oregon.
The sheep producer has not been identified. The agency says it's working with the producer to prevent further attacks, and will coordinate with other area livestock owners.
