Colorado has reintroduced gray wolves into the wild, with five wolves released in Grand County as part of a voter-approved reintroduction program. The decision, despite opposition from ranchers, marks the first time wolves have been in the state in nearly 80 years. The wolves, three males and two females, were captured in Oregon, evaluated by veterinarians and biologists, fitted with GPS collars, and transported to Colorado for release. The move has sparked concerns about potential attacks on livestock and has led to legal battles, with the cattle industry suing over the reintroduction. The release has stirred debate and opposition from rural America, including ranchers and farmers, who fear for their livestock's safety.
