Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommends denying petition to pause further wolf releases
From SummitDaily.com:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is recommending that its commission deny a petition submitted in September to halt further wolf releases.
The petition, signed by 26 livestock and stockgrower associations, asked the agency to hold off on bringing more wolves to the state until more conflict-mitigation measures are funded and implemented.
It contains seven specific requests, including defining “chronic depredation,” implementing and funding nonlethal programs for things like range riding and carcass management, hiring additional staff, and improving communication with impacted ranchers and communities.
