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 wolf depredation policy, which had allowed action against wolves involved in killing livestock. The agency made the decision out of concern for the state's small wolf population, following its reintroduction efforts. The move is likely to draw mixed reactions from ranchers dealing with livestock losses and conservationists supporting wolf recovery.
Why now: Colorado's wolf reintroduction is contentious, and halting the depredation policy directly affects ranchers and conservation debates.
