USDA officials say the GPS-collared male was found near five dead sheep and killed during a predator control operation.⁠ ⁠ One of the 15 wolves that Colorado Parks and Wildlife imported from British Columbia and released on the Western Slope in January was killed by federal officials in Wyoming on Sunday. CPW received a GPS collar mortality signal in north-central Wyoming on March 16 for a male gray wolf known as 2505-BC, according to a terse CPW statement issued Thursday. The agency avoided saying outright that federal officials killed the collared wolf. Instead, it noted that USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service officials were conducting depredation mitigation on private land at the time in response to “multiple livestock losses.”⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #wolf #wolves #wolfpack #colorado #wyoming #depredation #livestock #conservation #wildlife #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Lori Iverson / USFWS⁠ Story by: krebfish
