by Greg Walcher on February 10, 2026 If you were a grey wolf, it would be hard to imagine a more hostile environment than this state, into which 25 wolves have been involuntarily and violently extradited from their natural homes. It is reminiscent of illegal immigrants from south of the border being deported to prisons in unfamiliar countries like South Sudan and Uzbekistan. Those people have at least been accused of committing some crime. But what exactly have these wolves d

Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced it will not release any new gray wolves this season  as part of the state’s wolf restoration effort. Officials say they’re taking extra time to focus on safety for both livestock and wolves  and work with ranchers and stakeholders to reduce conflicts. They’ll continue managing the existing wolf population and explore options to resume introductions in winter 2026–2027 while trying to build a self-sustaining population.

The Colorado Springs Gazette  editorial board is saying what many Coloradans already know: the gray wolf reintroduction program is unsustainable, legally shaky, and putting rural communities and livestock at risk. With the legislative session underway, now is the moment to act. 📣  Contact your state legislators  and tell them to end the gray wolf reintroduction program and stop further releases in Colorado. 👉 Read the editorial: https://gazette.com/2026/01/08/editorial-col

A story by Marianne Goodland reveals that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service  is threatening to terminate Colorado’s authority to manage gray wolves altogether . According to Goodland, a Dec. 18 letter from USFWS Director Brian Nesvik warns that unless Colorado immediately provides full documentation of its wolf actions—including the controversial importation of wolves from British Columbia and the re-release of a known livestock-killing wolf —the federal government will step

Colorado Ranchers vs. Washington Wolves 🐺 This week, the U.S. House passed Rep. Lauren Boebert’s Pet and Livestock Protection Act  to remove gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act — a clear signal that Congress is paying attention to what’s happening on the ground in Colorado. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum didn’t mince words, warning Gov. Jared Polis and state lawmakers that Colorado is “prioritizing wolves over American ranchers.”  After wolves were released wi

Five years after voters narrowly approved wolf reintroduction, it’s becoming impossible to ignore the reality: this program is not working, and Colorado needs to consider a pause. The latest development came right before Thanksgiving, when Colorado Parks & Wildlife Director Jeff Davis quietly “stepped down.” This happened just days after Washington state’s wildlife board rejected Colorado’s request for 15 wolves by an overwhelming 8–1  vote. Even pro-wolf activists in Washing

Washington just delivered a major blow to Colorado’s troubled wolf reintroduction effort. This morning, the Washington Fish & Wildlife Commission voted 8–1  to reject Colorado’s request for up to 15 wolves  to be transferred this winter. Even Washington officials who support wolf recovery said their hands were tied — because Washington still lists its wolves as state-endangered  after last year’s controversial commission vote. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and CPW Director Jeff D

Colorado, we did it — together we built one of the largest citizen coalitions in the state , and it’s paying off. 💪 Because of your voice , the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has told Colorado to STOP importing wolves from Canada. That’s a huge win  for ranchers, hunters, families, and wildlife.   But Governor Polis and CPW Director Jeff Davis are still trying to ignore the federal order  — threatening our livestock, economy, and Colorado’s way of life. It’s time to tell them

This week, Montrose County commissioners introduced Ordinance 2025-01  to protect local landowners, livestock, wildlife, and industries. The proposal would ban introducing or facilitating non-native species —explicitly including the Canadian gray wolf —and carry fines up to $1,000 per day  for violators. Why it matters: Commissioners warn we’re being asked to accept an apex predator  that can threaten already-protected species and livelihoods. The ordinance targets deliberate

While Congress grinds to a halt, the government shutdown has stopped efforts to block wolf importation from Canada . That means Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and his wolf-trafficking buddies  just got breathing room to move full speed ahead—potentially importing more Canadian gray wolves as soon as next month. Rep. Jeff Hurd  has been sounding the alarm, pushing the White House and Interior Department to stop this reckless plan that punishes Colorado’s ranchers and rural communit
