Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1000 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY August 12, 2025: ‘Battles With Wolves’ from ZUMA represented Pulitzer winner Renée C. Byer staff at The Sacramento Bee: The return of gray wolves to rural California after over 100 years, may be viewed by some as an ecological milestone, but for ranchers with livestock and families living in these regions, it has ushered in a troubling new reality: the erosion of a basic sense of safety. Five northern California counties have declared public safety emergencies due to wolves, begging the state to allow sheriffs more leeway to, if necessary, euthanize the protected wolves if they pose a danger to people. Today, under state and federal endangered species protections, it’s illegal to kill a wolf unless it presents an immediate threat to a person. The state is beginning a process of re-evaluating protections for the gray wolf, but environmental groups are likely to fight removing endangered species protections for wolves without strong evidence that they are no longer threatened.
