Predator reintroduction and protection are a weapon against farmers. The article is fair and the photos revealing. I don't understand why there's an investigation. If it's a cat, coyotes, pack of dogs, it shouldn't matter. Agriculture is so enmeshed with government at this point they should be considered responsible for everything or back the F off. This isn't nomadic shepherds who don't even know whose land they're on.

That seems to be SOP for the side in control. A friend here in Montana stopped ranching cattle all together because the wolves were killing so many calves and the verdict was always "inconclusive " so he never saw any reimbursement for the fallout of their pet project.

We all have to fight against Bad science and political policy that over rules common sense.

It makes zero sense to intro Wolves into a heavily populated state. Hunting is a perfect solution to accurately manage ungulate populations.....wolves have proven to be uncontrollable and a very expensive alternative.

It's not bad science it's biological warfare.

Sounds like the Colorado Cattle Raisers Association ( or whatever they call it if they have one) need to hire their own expert to refute the crooks at the state level

Only thing I would question is the state person saying a bear or cougar could not take down a 180# calf but a wolf could?
