Commission’s ag reps clarify livestock handling, applaud wolf impacted producers
From The Fence Post:
Delia Malone, wildlife chair of the Colorado Sierra Club, Dallas Gudgel, wildlife and Tribal policy director for International Wildlife Coexistence Network, and Dr. Adrian Treves, director of the Carnivore Coexistence Lab at the University of Wisconsin appeared before the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission on Aug. 23.
Malone asked the commission to ensure that the state require that livestock producers exhaust proactive, appropriate, and properly implemented non-lethal coexistence methods that are based on best available science to reduce and minimize conflict between livestock producers and gray wolves prior to any issuance of a permit to kill a wolf. This is already clarified in the state Wolf Plan.
