ARROGANT

[MED]

Why didn't I question the article as fake? I guess I'm getting used to the crazy.

Grew up around rattlers. Not a fan. My Grandmother could pop one, with a shotgun, at twenty yards and go back to making lunch.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to tell if it's the Onion or just Colorado.

This is satire; right?!

Okay, I'm the guilty one. The article was labeled as satire in the May 23 Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, and I didn't include it. Since this is a Front Range-centered forum, I wanted to see who would protest, and if anyone would sign the initiative petition and vote for it. I sure as hell would!

The wolf reintroduction measure was written and promoted by out of state anti hunting groups and others that profit from selling the pro wolf scam. And it was heralded by the leftist media, Polis and conspirators in spite of the damage to western slope interests including agriculture, the communities that depend on hunting, the outfitters and virtually every big game hunter. Every week in every western slope newspapers there are letters condemning the reintroduction scheme, and Polis for pushing forward regardless of damage to the states economy.

My take is that most within the Colorado Parks and Wildlife knew that wolf reintroduction would be bad for the state but they are prevented from making comments of any kind on a political measure. And they know from experience that anyone who violated that would be fired.

It is the perfect example of the Tyranny of the Majority. And it is why our founding fathers established a republic rather than a democracy. Colorado is now an autocracy because we don't have a governor who stands for the entire state.

Personally, I'd like to see a well funded effort to gather signatures and push the rattlesnake initiative onto the ballot. Wouldn't it be fun if it passed because the arrogant progressives stayed home believing it could never pass!

As for the wolves, I don't think it will be long before they begin killing livestock, dogs, cats and maybe free-roaming kids on the Front Range. Then, urban voters might come to realize why wolves were extirpated from most of the continental U.S. a hundred years ago.

My family lives on the western slope including my family's cattle ranch. The wolves being introduced aren't even the native species; they are hybrids, which are larger. The wolf packs reproduce quickly, they are apex predators, they destroy game herds, and they impact game patterns for other predators such as mountain lion. They push the cats into livestock grazing lands. The whole thing is a massive cluster fuck. The stupid urban idiots that push for this garbage are completely clueless how it impacts the region as well as other wildlife.

I'm of the belief that even then they still wouldn't mind it unless, of course, it was their kid.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this.

I think many of them know exactly what type of impact it will have and either don't care or want this impact. [NOTE: Listed responses are NOT how I feel but it's how many of those who want the wolves feel.]

• Decimating game populations? Good, then hunters can't murder these animals. It's "just nature" when the wolves do it.
• Harming outfitters and communities who rely on hunters for their revenue? Good, you're just accomplices in the murdering of these animals.
• Harming ranching? Good, you shouldn't be raising animals to just murder them anyway.
• Harming argiculture? Good, get your vegetables at the supermarket where they make them.
• Harm people or pets? Good, this is what they get for living in the wolves habitat.
• Harm mountain lions and other native predators? Oh well, small price to pay for bringing back these adorable cuddly wolves.

I had to double-check given the insanity that gets proposed here in the state.

Naw, we no longer have a republic, and barely even a democracy. The left got everyone calling it a democracy vice republic for so long that no one even understands the difference any more. From there it has been easy to run as a democracy that's quickly sliding into something far worse. All by plan.
