They released a new batch of wolves a couple weeks ago in Colorado, right onto a friend’s ranch. He found this elk leg in the snow after neighbors spotted the wolves on the prowl.
He has livestock on his land and no one even bothered to alert him as to what they were planning. He said he thinks it was 5 wolves. This is only 30 minutes outside of Aspen.

I’m a fan of wolves, and all wildlife, but I think ballot box biology is a terrible idea. Most of these people all gung ho for the reintroduction have no idea what they’ve voted for.

There’s a reason why they eradicated wolves from the west ages ago, and a reason why they’re the bad guys in every old fairy tale from little red riding hood to the 3 little pigs.
They’re brilliant, ruthless hunters, and they will kill and eat everything they can, including cattle, horses and dogs.

Aspen is going to get very weird in the upcoming years, and I’m sure many people are going to regret this decision.

They’ll have to eventually allow wolf hunting when the numbers get too high, but good luck hunting them or even finding them if they don’t want to be found.
