What the hell do they need wolves for? They’ve got Tren de Aragua “lone wolves” terrorizing Coloradoans all over the place.

“ Proposition 114, which began the release of gray wolves into western Colorado”

It’s the LAW! We MUST follow the law!

So say Democrats when it pleases them and harms those white colonizer ranchers.

That’s money that could be spent on lawfare to keep Republican candidates off election ballots.

The governor, his husband, and the urban elite ( Denver, Boudler .. ) hate rural working families .. of the state’s 64 counties, just 13 supported wolves dumped only on lands west of the Continental Divide..

Polis and this elite pals have tried repeatedly to politically kill TABOR = rebates that help middle class workers = Now trying to kill TABOR financially thru crazy government spending - train to Craig, etc.

the wolf program would cost taxpayers $800,000 annually. Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director Jeff Davis told legislators the cost of the program in FY 2024 is over $3 million, about $2.2 million over budget.

More than TRIPLE the promised cost! How much went to executive "team building" trips to the beach during the winter and lavish dinners complete with hoochie-coochie shows?

The net effect of wolves on the Colorado environment will be negative. They'll spread weeds and contagion. They will inhibit herbivory and other stewardship. They will force their prey into "predator pits," particularly mountain sheep (which are already there because of lions). They may cause their extinction.

Wolves will drive ranchers out of business. That means range quality will be degraded. They will drive their prey into cities, and eventually follow, constituting a public menace. With the lack of herbivory, fire hazards will therefore increase.

Colorado apparently learned NOTHING from the lack of lion management. Wolves will be much worse.

Yup. Yet the environmental damage goes under-emphasized while the supposed benefits of returning predators to the landscape are totally bogus.

There is NOTHING a wild predator can do that hunters cannot do more humanely, with less risk of contagion and the spread of pestilence, and with better control insofar as managing herbivory is concerned. THAT is the message with which ranchers and land stewards should be promoting. Who the hell is going to risk their lives doing weed control with wolves around?

There is absolutely no good reason to reintroduce the predators our ancestors found it necessary to eliminate.

Feed the sheep to the wolves.
Double the tax rates.
The bastards are going to bring about a French-style revolution sooner or later anyway.
Because the people are too stupid and brainwashed and deluded to care.
Until they start to starve.
Then real change starts.

They could pay a lot of wolf bounties with that money.

The left wants rural cleansing of farmers and .. using imported Canadian, not native wolves and other predators.

Why not just pay a bounty per hide and let the hunting public take care of it?

The democrat goals are prioritizing wolves over classrooms... prioritizing wolves over roads .. by design...

The wolf management plan is a political agenda not a biological objective.

A rifle bullet is less than $2. Way cheaper than state funding.
