No members of the Togo wolf pack have been killed by Washington wildlife officials, yet.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s lethal removal order remains in place after repeated cattle attacks. Most recently the Togo wolf pack was credited with killing a calf on a U.S. Forest Service grazing allotment.

The Togo pack has killed or attacked seven cattle in the past 30 days and eight in the past 10 months, according to a WDFW news release. On July 24 a rancher shot, and presumably killed, a member of the pack.
