## Resource

California just handed sheriffs new weapons in the wolf war—rubber bullets and pepper balls—after a brutal summer when a single wolf pack slaughtered nearly 100 cattle in Sierra Valley. Ranchers, long frustrated by slow state responses, now get help from local law enforcement, while environmentalists raise alarms over potential harm to the protected animals. Three counties have already signed on, and ranchers may soon get limited training to use paintballs too—all under legal protection if things go sideways. Officials say this is about faster, more flexible action, funded by new grants, to stop wolf attacks before they escalate.
