Media statement: Colorado Gray Wolf 2507 Mortality

Colorado Parks and Wildlife received a mortality alert for male gray wolf 2507 on May 31. The agency has confirmed the mortality took place in northwest Colorado. As a federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating. A final determination of the cause of death will not be made until the investigation is completed, including the necropsy, a foundational component of the overall investigation process. No additional details are available at this time.

CPW continues to monitor four potential dens. It is likely there are an unknown number of new pups that were born this year. CPW is developing plans for the coming year’s translocation efforts, so Colorado’s wolf population will continue to grow, leading toward a self-sustaining population.

Not working out to good for them.

CPW better follow through on all the conflict resolutions their wolf budget was contingent upon, in writing, this year before continuing on those mentioned coming translocation efforts.

Crazy they're considered a federally endangered species just because they kidnapped them from Canada or Oregon. They're not really endangered if they can just go get more.

Another wolf reintroduced to Colorado dies, marking sixth death of 2025

Another gray wolf that was brought to Colorado as part of the state's reintroduction program has died, Colorado and federal officials said on Monday afternoon.

The article above implies there are an unknown number of pups born this year and that there will be subsequent translocation efforts to increase population to a "sustainable" level.

CPW's promised transparency to ranchers has recently been shown to be relatively non-existent and the range rider program doesn't seem to be effective, although time will tell.

Multiple wolf attacks reported on ranches near Aspen over Memorial Day weekend

Ranches near where wolves were released in January say Colorado Parks and Wildlife is not keeping its promise to let them know when wolves are near

This program is an absolute joke. Way over budget and mortality rate has to be somewhere around 50% at this point. How much longer is this nonsense going to continue..

I agree and it will never end until they have wolves 100% established statewide or they put it to a vote to end the program. I just don't see that happening with the current demographic.

Did anyone really expect anything different than what we're getting??

Nope… I’m a little surprised at all the wolf mortality… a little surprised with conflict with ranching ( figured it was bound to happen but no this quickly or this prolific) I think people think our state is “bigger” than it really is. Will be interesting to see what happens in 10-15 years with a wolf population nearing a 1000… good thing it will be really hard to get an appropriate firearm to defend yourself no one will care until some movie stars 6 year old kid is eaten in aspen

Nope, it's like everything the libs do. A train wreak!

First paragraph made me happy... Second pisses me off.....

I hope the "cause of death" was a 77 grain TMK and DOW posts the permanent wound cavity

Probably 60 or 80 years until we go full circle and start poisoning them again.

There is chatter about a ballot initiative to cease introductions. If it makes it on the ballot and points out the program is WAY over the original budget as well as the conflicts, lack of transparency, etc. it probably would pass. I mean the introduction barely passed in the first place.

We've got budget cuts hitting schools and such (because this Polis administration and dem majority has overspent/over committed spending over the last years with federal grant money but didn't plan for it to go away) and now we're spending a couple million each year on these wolves. That doesn't sit well with the average person imho when pointed out.

It would be more poetic if it was an intestinal blockage from all the dog poop bags hikers leave scattered along popular trails.

Probably a more accurate COD if we are speculating, wait there aren’t people who hike the trails to pick up my trash?! Huh that’s interesting

Now that would be absolutely amazing!! As I am no longer a resident I do not mean to shit on yall, but I was away for about 15 years and holy schitt batman... I thought the hippies and DOW (aka evil empire) were bad then.. its gotten flat out crazy!

As an outsider watching this debacle, I thought the same exact thing. I guess that'll happen on these bigger jobs, when the main employee has habitual depredation under their belt.

I'd be willing to bet that the majority of people who voted FOR the wolves are the types who aren't concerned with budgets and spending in the slightest, if they even know what a budget is.

its really not fair to these wolves to keep bringing them to CO. they're obviously depressed and suicidal, hence all the premature mortality.
