Domestic cow?................
Is whoopi going to be ok?
Was the cow out late at night, in a dangerous area, wearing provocative clothes?
They better get used to it. I spent the past 10 years near the Gila National Forest in New Mexico (where the Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery Program is) and working for a couple of newspapers there. They don’t reimburse these ranchers for the majority of these kills.
In fact, they had two wolves that were prolific cattle and horse killers they moved to Ted Turner’s large ranch in the county where I lived. His tour business will make big bucks from his wildlife tours where you can “hear a wolf in the wild,” but his neighbors will be put out of business when they can no longer afford to feed cattle to the wolves. When the reintroduction program was proposed ranchers were promised they would remove these from the wild if they were confirmed to have had kills.
Dometic cow? Do they have wild cows in Colorado? I thought all cows are domestic.

SSS.
I thought wolves only killed what they need for food. Are there so many wolves they needed six elk?
Reading some of the comments here is hysterical.
“In my opinion and in consulting with other experts, they are teaching their pups how to kill. And as we’ve seen from the Gittleson’s cattle, they’re teaching these wolves to not only kill elk and deer, but cattle as well.”
What? This is a revelation? How stupid can you be? What else would adult wolves do with their pups? Teach them to grow vegetables?
Of course wolves are going to kill for the pleasure of it. They are wolves. It’s what they do. They kill things and eat them. It’s their function.
Is this near South Park?
The important question here is whether or not the wolves were carrying their vaccination passports -
And did whoopie have her bi-annual rabies shot -
“CPW will work closely with the rancher to implement approved hazing methods..”
Lead “hazing” works.

Maybe Cowmala Harris shouldn’t travel to that part of the country.
Back in 2009, in one incident only, three wolves slaughtered the entire flock of 120 purebred sheep near Dillon Colorado......

One of my rancher friends just found this. She is talking about the feds not notifying (like they are supposed to) ranchers that wolves are in the grazing areas, deliberately allowing them to kill cattle.
I wrote several articles about this pack. These two wolves involved are from Ted Turner’s Ladder Ranch. The billionaire’s company persuaded the feds to release two wolves that had to the removed from the wild a year earlier after killing 20 head of cattle on one ranch alone. While this billionaire advertises his money-making wildlife tours on his ranches (they are very expensive), to hear a wolf howling in the wild, his struggling neighbors are being destroyed.
