A ranchers’ association outlines their concerns amid Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s announcement to release more wolves in the state
From KKTV.com:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) -Over a dozen more gray wolves are set to be released in Colorado’s high country next year, but one organization says it would be premature.
“On the ground, what our producers are experiencing is we’re not ready, and that’s where a lot of this anxiousness is coming from,” said Erin Karney, Executive Vice President of Colorado Cattlemen’s Association.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) says they will be releasing 15 more gray wolves between January and March in 2025. The wolves will be placed in Garfield, Eagle and Pitkin county. This is after they released 10 in December 2023. But ranchers believe they will need more support and more time to properly protect their livestock.
