Opinion: On wolves, state fish and wildlife agency has lost its way
Earl Blumenauer and Peter DeFazio
Blumenauer represents Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House. DeFazio represents Oregon’s 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House. Both are Democrats.
Oregon’s Department of Fish and Wildlife — the agency tasked with protecting and enhancing Oregon’s wildlife for present and future generations—continues to unjustifiably focus on the killing of wolves as a predator control tactic. With a biased commission overseeing the agency and a director willing to sabotage the species instead of treating it as an important part of our environment, the fish and wildlife department has lost its way.
