Colorado hunting groups join opposition to wolf reintroduction
From the Aspen Times in Colorado:
Wolf reintroduction is on the ballot in Colorado this November, and a prominent hunting group is joining agricultural interests in opposing the measure.
Hunting and outdoor advocacy group Safari Club International recently announced that it raised $140,000 to fight the wolf proposal.
“Wolves are here, they are going to naturally reproduce. They are federally protected, so we just don’t need to add more to the mix,” said Scott Axton, president of the Colorado chapter of the Safari Club.
