Letters: The burden of wolf control lands on our ranchers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:05 GMT

The burden of wolf control lands on our ranchersI am a bleeding-heart liberal environmentalist who has hugged more than one tree in the 60-odd years that I have been a resident of Colorado. I have pretty much supported every environmental cause short of taking up arms, which I have owned aplenty, during my active hunting years. Like many transplanted residents of Colorado, I come from a farming or ranching background. I am guessing there are more of us than there are actual farmers and ranchers in Colorado. It is time we raised our voices for our rural neighbors.While I support a more limited wolf introduction program, there does not seem to be enough protection for the livestock and human population of Grand and Jackson counties, which will suffer the most from livestock losses. The loss of one young purebred cow can result in six or eight less calves during her productive years. That is many thousands of dollars.Back to my roots: When I was about 10 years old, I witnessed a pack o...
