Some good news: This past weekend, Colorado Parks and Wildlife released 15 gray wolves in the historic effort to re-establish a wolf population in Colorado.
The wolves were relocated from British Columbia, Canada and all have no history of interaction or conflict with livestock.
The bad news: Misinformation around the releases drove would-be wolf poachers to one of the suspected release site with guns in hand.
Reminder: It is illegal to harm or kill a protected, endangered gray wolf in the state of Colorado and many other states.
There is still currently a $100,000 reward for information leading to arrests and convictions in the 2024 shooting death of a gray wolf in Colorado — the father of the Copper Creek Pack.
Wolves belong here. We'll keep fighting to protect them.
