Wolf Pack Hunting
Wolf Killing Livestock Bill
In order to collect reimbursement from the Colorado state for livestock killed by predictors the livestock must be protected by nonlethal means. A bill aimed at wolves was introduced by Rep. Tammy Story D-Evergreen to encourage ranchers to use nonlethal tools such as flashing lights and noise makers or employing guard dogs to scare away wolves.
Story told a newspaper in an interview,"I'm hoping it will encourage livestock owners to commit to utilizing nonlethal coexisting tools in order to protect their herds and their livelihood."
Sage Grouse
The ground-nesting bird, Sage Grouse, that lives on the prairies of the eleven western states has decreased in numbers by 40% since 2002. The Biden administration has proposed a plan that would introduce restrictions to drilling, mining, and other commercial activities on public lands.
The plan would set off a debate between the Bureau of Land Management against Western Energy Alliance and other legal challenges. The Bureau of Land Management controls the country's largest block of land with almost 70 million acres under the Bureau's control. The plan would hopefully increase the number sage grouse.
The proposed plan would be aimed at balancing the conservation and commercial activities. "This plan represents the last best hope to save the sage grouse and avoid a listing under the Endangered Species Act," said Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the Center for Western Priorities an environmental group.
