Colorado Parks and Wildlife Kills Second Yearling From One Ear Pack as Livestock Attacks Continue in Grand County
CPW said the removals followed repeated livestock conflicts and federal rules allowing lethal control after three depredations in 30 days.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 9, Colorado Parks and Wildlife agents killed an uncollared female yearling from the One Ear pack in Grand County, marking the third wolf lethally removed in one week following continued livestock attacks.
- The agency's chronic depredation directive authorizes lethal removal when wolves kill livestock three times within 30 days, an incremental approach CPW officials say aims to influence pack behavior while keeping the group together.
- Rancher Shawn Foster reported ongoing livestock losses, while Colorado Nature League executive director Jen Clanahan questioned whether targeting yearlings rather than breeding pairs effectively stops depredation.
- Conservation groups including the Center for Biological Diversity and the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project condemned the removals, arguing the state's approach undermines wolf recovery and urging CPW to prioritize nonlethal coexistence measures.
- President Trump this month ordered Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine within 90 days whether gray and Mexican wolves should be stripped of Endangered Species Act protections, complicating the state's reintroduction goals amid rising livestock conflicts.
