Colorado suspends wolf depredation policy over population concerns
Original: Colorado Parks and Wildlife suspends wolf depredation policy due to concerns over population
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has suspended its policy for dealing with wolves that kill livestock, citing concerns about the state's small wolf population. The move means officials will hold off on lethal removal or other depredation responses while the reintroduced population remains fragile. The decision is likely to draw mixed reactions from ranchers seeking protection for their herds and conservationists backing wolf recovery.
Why now: Colorado's wolf reintroduction is contentious, and suspending depredation responses directly affects ranchers and conservation debates.
