I saw a report first thing this morning about the first cattle depredation from one of Colorado's new wolves from Canada. I wondered, bow many cattle froze to death this winter, how many starved, how many died from disease. Why aren't those losses reported in the paper. Why are wolf losses the only ones getting any press?
Just as a new batch of wolves are set to be released into the Colorado Rocky Mountain wilderness, the ranchers launch a new bid to kill the wolf project. The headline on a CBS news article reads, "Efforts underway to stop wolf reintroduction in Colorado with popular vote". Please do not sign their petitions to get their new initiative on the ballot.
Last night Colorado provided the silver lining proving that the forces of good and compassion for our four footed friends can prevail. Last night the Mountain State passed it's ballot initiative banning the hunting and trapping of big cats. California has already banned fur trapping, and with enough work and education perhaps it will be possible to implement a national trapping ban like over 100 civilized countries through the world have already done.
