“Impacts of wolf reintroduction… need to be properly reviewed to avoid unintended negative consequences to the natural environment, wildlife, and people of the impacted communities,”
Pretty sure the wolves are more natural than cattle ranching…
I 100% reintroduction of wolves. They are an essential part of the ecosystem.
But you remember that other animal that there were millions of before we showed up and functionally exterminated? I think they need to be reintroduced, but until then, cows are perfectly fine animals to fill that role of large grazing herbivore.
What if there was an incentive to raise cattle to intentionally be released into wolf areas for them to hunt? Or, the bison that should be here. Pay me enough to live comfortably, and I’ll raise bison with the sole intention of releasing them.
You should checkout the ken burns bison doc if you haven’t. All about the history of bison in America
It has already been studied in states like Washington.
Doesn’t really matter, wolves are already moving into Colorado from Wyoming. Ag folks can stall an “official” reintroduction for as long they like and they’re still going to end up with wolves. There’s absolutely no stopping it as long as wolves remain on the ESL.
We already know how it will affect it. We’ve seen it happen in other states and parks already.
