$50,000 Reward Offered for Information on Three Endangered Gray Wolves Found Dead in Oregon

Federal and state wildlife officials are investigating the deaths of three gray wolves, including a breeding female, from the Gearhart Mountain Pack.

Three endangered gray wolves were found dead in Oregon, sparking an investigation by federal and state wildlife authorities.
A $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest, charges, or fines related to the wolf deaths.
The deceased wolves, including a breeding female, were part of the Gearhart Mountain Pack, with two wearing collars that signaled mortality on Dec. 29.
Gray wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act, making it illegal to harm or kill them.
The deaths have reignited controversy over wolf protection, with previous instances of wolves killing livestock leading to authorized 'lethal removals'.
