Since wolves returned to Oregon in the late 1990’s, they have killed 61 domestic animals More than half that total were killed by a pair of young wolves that were in turn killed for the act. By comparison, in 2005 alone 700 sheep were killed by domestic dogs and 200 were killed by eagles in Oregon

 

Oregon was home to over 1.3 million cows. 55,000 died before they made it to the slaughterhouse. Over, 1,200 were stolen by human thieves Malheur County alone over a 3-year period. A single train accident in Klamath County killed two dozen cows in 2011. Less than two dozen have been killed by wolves in the last decade.
