Wolf reintroduction in Colorado

[palepainter]

I think they have been here for some time now, not in any great numbers. But my buddies and I have seen hints of them out there in the woods.

the kinds of organizations pushing Wolf re-introduction will say wolf attacks on humans don't occur or are very rare- and frequently lie that they're never fatal.

so wolf attacks HAVE been fatal, combine that with rabies being more common here than in Alaska (lost a horse to rabies- I killed a rabid bat on my property 3 years ago after it dived bombed us at 11pm trying to treat him- YES it was tested positive by the state), and I'd love to see these irresponsible organizations sued out of existence.

I'd prefer the wolves over people. Maybe more than 1k will be needed.

Message sent. Last thing this state needs is a bunch of wolves brought in. If wolves belong here they will find their way here, and hopefully not in any significant numbers. We have premier big game hunting and that will only erode with a bunch of wolves being brought in. If some wolf lover wants to see wolves, there are places they can go to see all the wolves they want to.

I have friends from Cody, Wyoming. They said reintroduction to the area was a nightmare.

Geez, now I'm going to go cry

I have a friend who lives in a 4th floor apartment in LODO and he said he hasn't experienced any problems with wolves at all. Now I don't know what to believe!

That is very strange. I would think he would have had several sightings by now.

I lived near Cody Wyoming for years. Wolf reintroduction was definitely a nightmare. The claim was it was needed to keep the buffalo population in check. No need for that here.

We were given the line that the wolves would never leave Yellowstone...as if somehow they knew where the boundaries were...then we were told they would never leave the state...yet they have been definitely found clear down here near I-70.

They're already here. They have been for years now. Not formally introduced, they just kind of wandered down from up north.
