Colorado Parks and Wildlife releases definition of ‘chronically depredating’ wolves, meeting one common request from ranchers
From VailDaily.com:
Earlier this week, Colorado Parks and Wildlife released a much-anticipated definition of “chronic depredation,” also identifying situations where lethal action could be taken for wolves that develop a pattern of killing livestock.
The definition was crafted with the help of an ad hoc working group composed of wolf advocates, Parks and Wildlife staff and the ranching community. The group was created around when the Copper Creek Pack was tied to numerous livestock deaths in Grand County and tasked with working on this definition as well as other ways to decrease tension and address conflict.
