Johnson: CPW needs to act so producers know what is allowable to protect livestock from wolves

By Rona Johnson  | The Fence Post

The wolf or wolves that killed a calf in Grand County, Colorado, were ones that were moved from Oregon to Colorado about three months ago.

Initially, Colorado Parks and Wildlife did not report that the killer wolf or wolves were from Oregon, but eventually in response to pressure from the press and Colorado livestock producers the CPW caved and admitted the truth.

Before the wolves from Oregon were introduced into Colorado, CPW Director Jeff Davis and his staff testified before the House Agriculture Committee on Sept. 12, 2023, that they would do everything they could to not bring problem wolves to Colorado.
