Colorado Parks and Wildlife updates rules to allow ranchers to kill wolves that are attacking “working dogs”

From an article in the Denver Post by RYAN SPENCER | Summit Daily

Article Excerpts:

“Colorado Parks and Wildlife has updated its rules to allow ranchers to kill wolves that are actively attacking “working dogs.”

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service late last year finalized a document, known as the 10(j) rule, that outlined when wolves could be killed in Colorado, and paved the way for the species to be reintroduced in the state.

Months after the release of 10 wolves in the state, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted unanimously Friday, July 19, to update state regulations to reflect the 10(j) rule’s language regarding “working dogs.””
