Gray wolves are being fatally poisoned in the remote northeast corner of Washington state, according to state wildlife officials, who said Monday that six have been found dead.
Two carcasses were discovered recently and four were found in February, the state Fish and Wildlife Department reported.
"Toxicology results revealed all six wolves died from ingesting poison," the department said.
Fish and Wildlife police have been investigating since last year.
Gray wolves are listed by the state as endangered, and they're federally endangered in the western two-thirds of the state.
