A Humane World

Wolf restoration programs exist to bring the species back to habitats where they were wiped out. But a wolf family established by wolves previously captured in Oregon and reintroduced in Colorado has now been removed from the wild. This week, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department announced that its specialists had captured the Copper Creek wolf pack, the state’s first gray wolf family established by reintroduced wolves. The capture was part of a plan to relocate them after ranchers complained that the wolves were targeting farm animals.
