‘What’s going on is a calamity:’ Ranchers, lawmakers question Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s recent decisions on wolves
From Post Independent:
Colorado ranchers and lawmakers have questioned how Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are making decisions about wolves since the animals were reintroduced to the state starting in December.
Concerns have peaked in recent months, however, as wildlife officials have gone outside of recommendations in the Wolf Restoration and Management Plan, and have raised questions about whether Gov. Jared Polis is calling the shots on wolves.
Sen. Dylan Roberts — who represents Senate District 8, which has been the epicenter of Colorado’s reintroduction efforts — asked Parks and Wildlife Director Jeff Davis how decisions were being made during a Sept. 18 Senate Water Resources and Agriculture Review Committee hearing.
