Wolf pack that attacked Colorado livestock to be relocated as reintroduction program stumbles
Wildlife agencies are trying to capture and relocate the first pack of wolves that formed under Colorado’s ambitious wolf reintroduction program after the animals repeatedly attacked livestock, marking an early stumble in the voter-driven initiative. The move comes only a week after state officials touted three pups born to the Copper Creek pack, which formed after 10 of the predators from Oregon were released in December over bitter opposition from livestock groups. The pack has at least two adults. The bid to capture them goes against Colorado’s wolf management plan that was adopted last year. It included guidance that relocation “has little technical merit” because it could create problems elsewhere if the animals continue attacking livestock. The plan calls for using non-lethal approaches, such as patrolling ranches with range riders and scaring away problem wolves, or killing them if necessary to stop ongoing attacks on livestock. Officials did not say where the Copper Creek pack would be relocated, nor whether they would be released into the wild or kept in captivity.
