"No, wolves do not kill for fun."

There is a lot of evidence that directly points to wolves killing for fun/sport/practice.... .

Fun and sport are subjective assessments.

Practice is researched possibility, as is food caching (known behavior)

I’ve had dogs get into my chicken pen and kill chickens. well fed dogs too. Then they would run off and leave lots of dead chickens behind. Neighbor had dogs dig into his chicken pen, kill the chickens then run off not eating any of them.

They DO kill for the fun of the chase.

Simple solution: State pays ranchers double market value for livestock killed by the State’s dear wolves.

Better solution: Relocate the wolves to Downtown Denver or Boulder. Also pay ranchers double

LOL!

Show us the research that wolves kill for “fun”.

Define “fun” in the context of exhibited wolf behaviors, both when packed and also behaviors of disperser wolves.

Wildlife agents are no help...

IF THEY “DIDN’T SEE IT HAPPEN-—IT WASN’T WOLVES”.

3 Wolves killed 120 sheep at a private ranch near Dillon, Montana - in one incident. Then, the private ranch suffered another mass killing by wolves - twice in three weeks..

Three wolves killed at least 26 rams the first rime .. then, the next week, the wolves struck again. This time, they took out 120 purebred Rambouillet bucks that ranged in size from about 150 to 200 pounds, and were the result of more than 80 years of breeding.. ~ rancher Jon Konen..

Kathy Konen says the sheep were killed, but their carcasses were almost all intact.

Jon Konen said: “I had tears in my eyes, not only for myself but for what my stock had to go through.. “

There is no upside to bringing the wolves here.

The wolf or wolves that were in the area at the time of the depredation were part of the 10 wolves that were reintroduced to Colorado in December 2023, ...

It didn't take those wolves long to find the slow elk.

Anyone who didn't see that coming must be about as intelligent as a cow.

Thanks for that.

The wolf population in Colorado is going to decline greatly. And we know why.

The wolf population in Colorado is now guaranteed to decline.
Man is also a predator.

Catch the wolf and release it on no cash bail.

No, wolves do not kill for fun.
= = =

Maybe they kill for Gang Initiation.

or because a non-wolf was walking by an not paying attention.

Still waiting for some research links of any kind that shows that wolves kill for “fun”.
