Only 1 Colorado rancher has been paid following a wolf depredation this year. Why?
From Sky-Hi News:
While there have been nine confirmed wolf attacks on livestock since the state began reintroducing the animals on the Western Slope in December, only one of those cases has resulted in a payout under the state’s compensation fund.
That’s because, so far, there have been only two claims filed by impacted ranchers, according to state records. But the state wildlife agency expects that to change.
