The war on rural Colorado

[gcode]

Then there's the wolf "re-introduction" passed by citizen's initiative.

The term's a fib to begin with. The wolves to be "re-introduced" aren't the same breed as those wandering the Rockies centuries ago. But hey, salesmanship can't be limited by the facts.

Just like Jurassic Park, a whole new breed will be released into Colorado, and just like Jurassic Park the experts say they have it all under control.

Progressives in Boulder and Denver voted to parachute killer animals into other people's back yards. It was a wildly, but not surprisingly, intolerant act. It was a vote to injure people in a different tribe. People you don't see. And frankly, people you look down upon as backwards rubes.

And besides, as any urban fan of HBO's "Game of Thrones" will attest, giant wolves are loyal, majestic and magical beasts that only kill bad guys.

The state recently confirmed the first wolf kill in decades. A wolf pack took down and eviscerated a 500-pound purebred heifer near Walden.

Walden is in Jackson County. I'm guessing most of the people who voted for the wolf initiative don't really know where Jackson is. There's nothing inherently wrong with that except when you vote to have people's animals viciously ripped apart, it's proper to at least know where and how your victims live.

Complete Colorado

Its been 47 years since I left Colorado
When I lived there, you'd see bumper stickers that said
Don't Californicate Colorado
They should have taken that advice

they did this in Yellowstone. took a few years but they soon were reported as taking down livestock in idaho, washington and oregon.  IDK
here is a right up on pro's and con's but thin he is a little slited. I know people that have lost livestock to this move and ranchers dont have a big profit margin.

oh yeah, people love wolves when they only see them once a year on their vacation trip.  The locals can't stand them and have a habit of gut shooting them.  There's literally hundreds of complaints from farmers losing livestock to wolves in northern Minnesota every year, very few of which actually get reimbursed because there's often not enough left of the animal to confirm it was a wolf kill.

I'll be Impressed when I see a few of those Minnesoda Protesters taken down by wolves.

DNR!!! DNR!!!
