East side, west side, Colorado is dividing

The eastern side of the Front Range has illegal aliens and transgender politicians; the western side, thanks to the same eastern liberals who brought the criminals and boys who think they’re girls into the state, now have wolves. It’s not going well for either side.*

Colorado’s First Gentleman [sic] quits social media after Facebook spat over wolves: ‘Truth is I don’t care’

Colorado First Gentleman Marlon Reis deactivated his social media accounts after getting into a howling match about wolves on Facebook over the weekend.

Reis, who is Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis’ husband, had posted online about grants the state was offering for nonlethal wolf deterrents when he got into a heated exchange in the comments with David Gittleson, according to 9 News.

Gittleson is a rancher in Walden — a town of about 600 people 150 miles northwest of Denver — and for years has dealt with wolves killing his livestock even before Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) formally reintroduced them to the state in December, the outlet reported.

“The truth is I don’t care. I don’t care what you do or don’t eat. I don’t care what you think you know or what you think you’re qualified to comment on,” Rais railed at Gitttleson, according to screenshots obtained by the outlet. 

The far-left, urban voters of Colorado voted to release wolves into cattle country, but not, of course, on their side of the Front Range, but over the mountains and into cattle country, with the Rockies serving as a barrier to protect Denverites’ Labradoodles and golden retrievers. This has not gone well, for the ranchers.

April 18, 2024: Reintroduced wolves kill 4 yearling cattle in latest string of livestock attacks

Wolves that killed were part of group reintroduced in December

Wolves killed several yearling cattle in north-central Colorado this week, bringing the total number of wolf kills of livestock this month to six.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife on Thursday confirmed that wolves killed three yearlings on a Grand County ranch between Monday night and Tuesday morning. The carcasses were discovered Wednesday, agency spokesman Travis Duncan said in an email.

On Thursday, wildlife officials investigated a fourth yearling killed on the same property and determined the animal was killed by a wolf.

The wolves in the area at the time of the attacks were among the 10 wolves released in the state in December as part of a voter-mandated reintroduction effort to restore the predator to the Colorado landscape, Duncan said.

One of the wolves released in December killed a calf April 2 in Grand County. A few days later, a wolf killed a calf in Jackson County, which borders Grand County to the north.

The risk of wolves preying on livestock fueled strong opposition by ranchers to the reintroduction measure, which found most of its support from urban voters. Owners of livestock killed by wolves are eligible for compensation from the state.

December 9, 2022:

Wolf reintroduction was approved by voters in 13 of 64 Colorado counties

In case you missed it, the draft plan of Colorado's wolf reintroduction program was released today. It's the result of a 2020 ballot item in which 50.91 percent of the state's voters approved the initiative by a narrow margin. A common gripe about the plan is that while wolves are set to be released west of the Continental Divide, counties that voted to mandate the reintroduction program lie heavily east of that natural barrier.

Believe it or not, the measure passed with only 13 of Colorado's 64 counties voting in favor of reintroducing wolves – roughly 20 percent. The heavily-populated Denver metro area proved to be highly supportive, with 66 percent of Denver County voters and 68 percent of Boulder County voters voting in favor of approval.
