For the first time since wolf reintroduction began in Colorado, wildlife officials have killed a wolf believed to be involved in a series of livestock attacks.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife said gray wolf 2405 was a member of the Copper Creek Pack in Pitkin County. They decided to kill it after determining that ranchers had experienced chronic wolf depredation despite trying all non-lethal deterrence measures and removing anything that could attract wolves.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
