Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials confirmed at least six wolves were spotted in Moffat County, the northwestern most corner of the state. The pack was found about two miles from a trail of wolf tracks they discovered earlier this month.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis said he's honored to welcome the animals back to the state after "their long absence." "While lone wolves have visited our state periodically including last fall, this is very likely the first pack to call our state home since the 1930s," he said.

Adding wolves to Colorado means a serious loss of livestock. Instead of wolves, there should have been more hunting permits. Polis is a Democrat. Polis is not more winning. Everything Polis is doing is about losing.

“Colorado Governor Jared Polis said he’s honored to welcome the animals back to the state...”

Is this the same guy that said “I, for one, welcome our alien overlords.”

I let my dog sled team off leash to get a little exercise and everybody goes nuts. Fine, I’ll go round them up.

Polis is a leftist dolt. Ranchers’ livestock will suffer from those predators.

“More winning”

More winning for who? Not ranchers or hunters.
