FERRY COUNTY, Wash. – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has killed a wolf from the Togo Pack following a series of cattle attacks in the area.

All three attacks occurred within a 30-day period. The approval for lethal removal of the wolf was granted on Monday and was carried out yesterday.
