Wolves kill 2 cows west of Kalispell

KALISPELL, Mont. (AP)--Federal wildlife officials have confirmed that two cows west of Kalispell were killed by wolves.

Ed Jonas, owner of the Blacktail Mountain Ranch near Rollins, said he was grazing the heifers on another ranch southwest of Kila. He learned of the dead cattle Sept. 23.

"I've had enough of people who want to coddle wolves. I am really upset about this," he said.

Kent Laudon, a biologist for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said a federal trapper has confirmed the cows were killed by wolves.

Laudon said the Hog Heaven Pack was in the area at the time of the attacks, and efforts are under way to remove two wolves from the pack.
