Description
No animal in the U.S. has faced as much persecution or been as controversial as the gray wolf. As settlers moved out west and began farming and ranching, they came into direct competition with this predator. By the early 20th century, hunting and government sponsored wolf bounties had brought this animal to near extinction in the lower 48. But that all changed when wolves were reintroduced, first to Yellowstone and Idaho, and then eventually to Oregon. Today, I'm joined by a very special guest and expert on the recent history of wolves in Oregon. A Wallowa County Commissioner, cattle rancher, President Elect of the Oregon Cattleman’s Association, and my dad, Todd Nash. Todd has experienced first hand the carnage that a pack of wolves can wreak on a herd of cattle. Ever since his first confirmed wolf depredation, my dad has worked tirelessly to make sure wolves are managed properly and to give a voice to the ranchers and farmers of Eastern Oregon.
