Environmental Group Threatens Lawsuit To Stop Wyoming Hunters Killing Colorado Wolves bit.ly/3TqsseJWolves that cross the border from Colorado into Wyoming may be shot on sight, and it’s up to the U.S. Forest Service to stop it, an environmental group claims. The Center For Biological Diversity plans to file a lawsuit against the Forest Service in U.S. District Court unless the agency steps up to protect the wolves. That’s what the group claims in a letter sent to USFS and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials. The Forest Service falls under the USDA’s jurisdiction. The possible lawsuit may initially seem like a legal dead end, because the Forest Service doesn’t manage wolves.

In the case of wolves, the group argues that the Forest Service should declare a no-kill zone on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, headquartered in Laramie.

The youngest pups generally defer to their older siblings. However, the breeding males and females make sure that the youngest pups feed first at a kill – keeping the rowdy teenagers in line with a snarl here or there.The packs virtually never end up battling for dominance. That might happen in a captive situation – with wolves from different backgrounds thrown together. But virtually never happens in the wild, according to the studies. ... See MoreSee Less
