Yes, Story Warren, let’s do tell the truth about wolves. Please read the article “Loss of ‘right-hand man’ hits rancher hard” in the Colorado Springs Gazette on March 27, 2023. That article tells the truth about wolves and what they are doing to ranchers and their dogs as opposed to your feel good article.

Note from the administrator, here is a good column with the statistics for wolves killing livestock and dogs. https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2023/03/15/colorado-wolves-kill-cattle-dog-fatally-injure-pet-dog/70011975007/

In reply to J. Perry. Don’t bother. These people don’t deal in reality. I would bet most are city dwellers who don’t have to deal with the situation they are creating. Most recently collared wolves killing family dogs and cattle. This was investigated and proven. But they will tell you it’s only 1%. Statistics are fine when they don’t effect you personally. Rob Edward should be directly responsible for every animal lost. Maybe then that 1% would have meaning.

We have a ranch in Steamboat Springs that my grandfather homesteaded in 1908. My husband and I saw a wolf come across our meadow 6 years ago. They are migrating naturally. No need to introduce them, and it should have been a rural vote.
