🚨 FEDERAL WARNING: COLORADO COULD LOSE CONTROL OF WOLF MANAGEMENT 🚨

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 in and take over.

That means:

• Colorado Parks & Wildlife could lose all control over wolf management

• Federal officials—not Coloradans—would decide relocations and lethal removals

• State decisions already blamed for over $500,000 in livestock losses could now trigger a full federal takeover

  
  

The letter also reiterates that Colorado was explicitly told to cease and desist from importing wolves outside approved U.S. states—yet the state moved forward anyway, even signing a $400,000 contract with British Columbia.

Meanwhile:

• 25 wolves imported so far

• 10 already dead

• More than five dozen livestock and working dogs killed across multiple counties

• Ranchers left paying the price

This isn’t wildlife management—it’s mismanagement with real consequences for rural Colorado.

Colorado families, ranchers, and wildlife deserve accountability—and common sense.
