This May 3, 2009 file photo provided by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife shows wolf coordinator Russ Morgan with a wolf as it recovers from anesthesia used during a radio-collaring effort in Northeastern Oregon. The Oregon Cattlemen's Association is pressing a package of bills in the Oregon Legislature to allow ranchers to shoot wolves attacking livestock, and pay ranchers for sheep and cattle lost to wolves.

I don't particularly like wolves but if I'm going to pay for the livestock the wolves kill then the ranchers should pay for the wolves they kill; at replacement cost for both. Wolves get to stay; that was the vote.
