Grey wolves lived across the continent, a single pack per state isn't enough. Yes I am a hunter and yes I care about wildlife, all of it. I don't just want to farm wildlife to hunt I want the ecosystem stabilized predators and all. This feels like a classic example of a predator not wanting to share game and territory with competition, game hunters like us need to allow predators to exist and for them to do their ecological jobs of stabilizing the biosphere. Letting herds overgrow and then saying it's population control isn't a good thing. It's just greedy, and tbh wolves don't just over populate like coyotes do. A wolf pack needs a good chunk of land to survive, and I'm fine sharing game that we raise with wolves.

When your border collies and livestock guardian dogs are killed and eaten it is heartbreaking. They are not just expensive, it takes time to train and work with and they are family.

Young lambs and calves may not be tagged yet and registered in the flock or herd registry. A carcass of an adult may not be found. Did that fat steer wander off and fall through the ice of a stream and drown? If a killed carcass is found will is be declared unreimbursable as it may look like a coyote in heat and a bunch of horny dogs which made the kill?

I hope night thermal Scopes comes down in price soon. Problems in Yellowstone occurred as Congress eliminated native Americans hunting rights when they created the reserve.

The true reason for wolf introduction is to eliminate hunters and hunting.
They say the wolves will take the place of the hunter in managing game populations , the problem is that the wolves will kill ALL the game species and eventually themselves.
It's equivalent to the SAME federal government killing all the Buffalo to eliminate the native tribes that depended on them to survive years ago.

Wolves are more detrimental to society than the ecosystem. They will become brazen, large and will attack more than livestock. They will enter towns and cities and start attacking people. Just watch

Environmentalists seem to think it's more humane for wolves to attack and eat deer alive than it would be too have human hunters kill them.

Which "legislative report" is mentioned in this video? Where is the source for the "theory that is being pushed on the public" that claims it is an absolute fact that wolves will stop the spread of CWD in every area? And where is the source for the CPW commission resolution stating they oppose the intentional release of any wolves into Colorado? And what is your source for stating that CPW and its Employees are "legislatively mandated to not comment on the ballot initiative?" Can we have sources? This is certainly polished and well edited presentation, and it certainly gives the untrained eye an impression of being well researched thanks to the smooth veneer of professionalism imparted by the editing. However, with no sources listed for the original material used to gather the information presented, it's hard to take seriously. A bunch of numbers with no sources is meaningless, and also implies the presenter discovered information while they researched that did not support their claims, which was left out of the presentation since it not only does not support but has the potential to counter their argument. If you truly believe everything presented here, and you believe you have a strong body of evidence amassed to support your claims, please provide your sources, so that context can be had for those curious about the points you brought up here.

People and their pets and businesses have more rights than a species that's been endangered and after almost a lifetime they recently are taken off the endangered species list. These animals would be allowing the earth to continue without the harm we bring to the entire planet. They deserve their land back. Their populations back. Farmers will need help in protecting livestock it appears it's the issue. Smh....why cant they do that? Help them adjust? It's not a bad idea it's just an incomplete one.

Some of the points this video raises would occur regardless of whether wolf recolonization received any human assistance or not. All the wolves in WA state for example migrated there on their own, state expenditures to manage wildlife populations and their interactions with people occur regardless of how they got there or what the species is. Reason #8 says wolves would spread to areas where elk are. That will also happen under natural dispersal. Wildlife goes where the good habitat is. #9 Implies wolf populations just grow uncontrollably, wolves are the most dangerous threat to other wolves. They commonly kill-each other. They can only survive where the prey base will support them, if the prey base fails so do they. It's natural and normal for populations of both wolves and their prey to go through periods of contraction and expansion over time. If this poses a problem to long term ungulate population sustainability on our modern modified landscape then wolves can be controlled and hunted like any other species. Wolves certainly don't need help recolonizing Colorado, but this whole presentation reeks of fear mongering and seems more about being anti-wolf then anti-reintroduction. I like the habitat work and reintroduction efforts you guys do for elk, but I wish you were as supportive of holistic management for all our wildlife.

Maybe it sucks that wolves we're re-introduced in Colorado lands, but wolves were part of the native animals, Humans are the invasive predators kind, besides to be highly destructive not only to other animal kinds but to the environment. So sucked up, life is uncertain so learn to share the land with our brothers wolves.
