Colorado Parks and Wildlife is learning in the first year of reintroduction that there’s little winning with wolves.
The agency’s latest plan to trap and move a Grand County pack that has been killing livestock riled wildlife groups, who roundly blasted the relocation plan as “being driven by politics … not rooted in science-based management” and a potential “death sentence” for the Copper Creek pack’s three pups. (The pack was named in June after CPW saw that two adults captured in Oregon and released in Colorado last year had produced offspring, the first of the reintroduced wolves. It is unclear if CPW plans to trap and relocate the pups.)
Scientists who trapped problem wolves in Montana and relocated them to a different part of the state agree that the process rarely ends well for young wolves that rely on their parents and do not know how to hunt.

He is described as “a freelance writer, an animal welfare advocate, a father, and the first First Gentleman of Colorado” on the governor’s website. During his time as Colorado’s first gentleman, Reis has often used his platform to advocate for wildlife and environmental issues.
“The First Gentleman views social media as a tool for celebrating animals and sharing the many ways in which the Polis Administration is pro-actively working to protect them,” stated Shelby Wieman, press secretary for the governor’s office.

(CN) — After his order limiting wolf trapping and snaring in Montana’s grizzly bear territory survived the scrutiny of a Ninth Circuit panel this past April, Chief U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy denied conservation groups’ motion for summary judgment in the case.
Molloy, a Bill Clinton appointee, wrote in a 30-page order that there are still material questions of fact in the case that are best answered at a bench trial, which is scheduled to begin Dec. 2.
