Colorado halts lethal removal of problem wolves
Original: Colorado halts lethal removal of problem wolves, sparking rural outcry
Colorado wildlife officials have stopped killing wolves that repeatedly attack livestock, a policy shift that has drawn sharp criticism from rural communities and ranchers who say it leaves them without protection for their herds. Supporters of the wolf reintroduction program welcome the move, while opponents demand the state restore lethal control options.
Why now: The state's policy change directly affects ranchers dealing with wolf attacks, fueling an urban-rural conflict over wolf reintroduction.
