Colorado wolves that attack livestock harder to remove
Original: Wolves preying on livestock won’t be as easily removed
Colorado wildlife officials say wolves that prey on livestock will no longer be removed as easily under the state's wolf management plan, now that the species has regained federal protections as an endangered species. The change limits lethal control and relocation options for ranchers dealing with depredation, drawing concern from agricultural communities awaiting compensation and conflict-reduction tools.
Why now: Colorado's wolf reintroduction is prompting debate over how ranchers can respond to livestock losses under renewed federal protections.
