‘Wolves don’t take a day off’: Kremmling [Colorado] ranchers said wolf reintroduction outpaced preparedness
From KVDR.com:
As Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program expands, ranchers said they’re still waiting for critical protections to catch up. Tim Ritschard, president of the Middle Park Stockgrowers Association and a fifth-generation rancher in Kremmling, said his operation has already felt the effects.
“We had a wolf go through in February — right behind my house,” Ritschard told FOX31. While state officials said they’ve now fully staffed the “range rider” program meant to deter wolf attacks and assist with herd monitoring, Ritschard said it’s too little, too late.
