Colorado suspends killing wolves that prey on livestock
Original: Colorado Parks and Wildlife suspends killing wolves that prey on livestock
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has suspended its practice of killing wolves that attack livestock, a change to how the state manages its reintroduced gray wolf population. The decision affects ranchers who have pressed for lethal control of wolves preying on cattle and sheep, and it is drawing attention from both wildlife advocates and agricultural interests in the state.
Why now: Colorado's wolf reintroduction is contentious, and any change in lethal-control policy directly affects ranchers and conservationists.
