"The 2013 official Washington State wolf report is out today. It shows a very slight population increase from 2012 — from 51 to 52 wolves. Because random effects loom so large in small populations, it is most reasonable to call the situation “no growth,” “stable.” Because there is often a lot of shouting about actual or suspected wolf depredations on livestock and pets, 2013′s numbers show a case for silence on the matter. Only one cow calf died from wolves and none were injured. Three dogs sustained injuries from wolves." - Jessie
