The reward being offered by a “consortium of conservation groups” for information about a wolf poaching incident in Colorado has doubled to $100,000, as of January 7.
A press release related to the reward stipulates that $85,000 of the reward will follow formal charges being levied on a suspect, with the additional $15,000 getting delivered upon conviction of the suspect. This is an increase of the $50,000 award that was initially announced.
The poaching investigation involves a Grand County wolf that died, with a necropsy revealing that it had sustained a gunshot wound that was likely a major factor in its death.
