Summary: The Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) opposes the current implementation of the Gray Wolf Nonessential Experimental Population Rule, arguing that it fails to adequately address livestock depredation, conflict mitigation, and producer compensation. They are requesting a pause on additional wolf releases until existing management deficiencies, such as inconsistent chronic depredation standards and insufficient agency staffing, are resolved.
The Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments regarding implementation of the Gray Wolf Nonessential Experimental Population Rule in Colorado under Section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act.
