Colorado to reduce killing of wolves over livestock attacks
Original: Colorado to pull back on killing wolves involved in livestock attacks as survival concerns rise
Colorado wildlife officials say they will scale back the practice of killing wolves involved in livestock attacks, citing rising concerns about the survival of the state's reintroduced wolf population. The shift marks a notable change in how the state balances predator management with ranchers' losses, and it is likely to draw reaction from both conservation groups and the livestock industry.
Why now: Colorado's wolf reintroduction program remains contentious, and any change in lethal-control policy affects ranchers and conservationists alike
