The Return of Wolves to California with Amaroq Weiss, Center for Biological Diversity
Gray wolves were once ubiquitous across California but the state’s last surviving individual was killed in 1924. In 2011, the first documented wolf since 1924 was observed crossing into California from Oregon. Today, there are at least 7 gray wolf packs in California with some 50 individuals. That’s not so many but 3 counties are worried about wolf attacks on livestock and people and are asking for permission from the state to allow more aggressive hazing, including shooting wolves with beanbags and rubber bullets. Is this really necessary? To learn more about gray wolves in California, join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Amaroq Weiss, Senior Wolf Advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity
