From Steamboat Radio:
A new letter has been sent to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, asking the agency for a “temporary hiatus” before reintroducing more wolves until a few changes are made.
From Colorado Politics:
Over the last year, a common issue between Colorado Parks and Wildlife and ranchers is the state agency’s slow response in investigating wolves killing livestock and how a lack of training leads to incorrect determinations.
Last week, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission rejected a staff recommendation to deny a claim for a calf killed by a wolf on a Silver Spur ranch near Walden. The commission instead voted to approve the payment, ordering CPW to reverse its original decision that is was not a wolf kill.

From Sant Fe New Mexican:’
SOCORRO COUNTY — Asha and her mate were not pleased when they saw Melissa Kreutzian coming their way on a recent Thursday morning.
It didn’t matter that Kreutzian was heaving giant, sausage-shaped tubes of food into their enclosure, or that she’d be spending the next quarter of an hour providing them with fresh water.
It didn’t matter that Kreutzian’s entire job is to make sure the pair of Mexican wolves — and their relatives who live in cages nearby in the rocky, scrubby hills of the Sevilleta Wolf Management Facility — survive and, with a little luck, procreate.
From Down to Earth:
The Indian grey wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) has been in the news this year for all the wrong reasons. Ten deaths—those of nine children and one woman —have been presumed to have occurred due to wolf attacks in Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh. Wolf conservationists and experts have raised concerns about the resulting feverish and sensational media coverage.
However, hundreds of kilometres from Bahraich, in the rugged landscapes of central Karnataka, a unique relationship has flourished between local shepherds and an unlikely ally—wolves.
