Animal welfare advocates and hunting proponents reacted to the news with uncertainty – neither camp is sure what this means for the future of America’s largest wild canine.photo: Wolfphotography.com ...

Colorado rancher says wolves have started attacking, killing his cattle againbit.ly/3KWtF7JRanchers are working with wolf advocates to protect theCattle from a pack of predatorsWolves are believed to have killed at least one calf and caused the death of another in Colorado's Jackson County in recent days, despite a night watcher looking over the herd.Colorado Parks and Wildlife said in an email Friday that two calves died at the ranch in the past month but there wasn't evidence to confirm that wolves were to blame, such as bite marks.The pack, which consists of eight grown wolves and includes a female that is suspected to have given birth to her second litter northeast of Walden.Not exactly sure what happened but I suspect they got ahold of the calf and drug it through the fence because there were marks and the mother went across the fence and chased after them,'' Don said of the first attack. "Nobody realized they had come in there that night.'I’m sure the rancher is upset, and rightly so it’s difficult to seepredators arrive to a rancher who has not experienced wolvesand see their livestock attacked and dead. That is money onranch owners livelihood and no one wants to see destructionon living animals.The wolves got into his calving pasture between lights meant to scare them off in the new violation of the herd.They got ahold of (another) calf, and the cow was after the wolves when I drove over to them and honked the horn and they chased off,'' he said. They still haven't found that calf.He suspects a third calf he lost died from lung damage caused by being chased by the wolves.The Gittlesons are in the midst of their monthlong calving season. Don said they have had around 100 calves born with another 80 calves expected over the next few weeks.This time is stressful and hurtful to the rancher and his herd.It is certainly understandable by any one reading this or to the ranchers who are hard working to enable a herd to grow to loseagain and experience the stress involved.Wolf advocates need to understand or take into account the issues and it’s not a small issue. It’s people in real situations who are trying to make a living and there is another side except the advocates side.Most advocates do understand and must not forget these arethe people next door perhaps and not “the bad guys.”It’s a difficult time advocating for wolves because it’s known theirpresence is necessary for the environment and that we must and do face the dilemmas that ranchers experience. Many times it’snot a black and white issue and it is not a fun issue..We as peoples have created the environment and over timethe balance in nature has been upset. The environment has to be improved and it will be painful too many to balance ... See MoreSee Less
