Advocates for wolves should lobby to outlaw free range cattle in Colorado, that'll teach those ranchers! :x

How long until the population is large enough to expand across the entire state? How large of a population could the state support, and how large will the government let the population get before they interfere?

I'm excited about this.
You'll be excited until you meet a pack of wolves in the wilderness! This is not a good thing for the 14er hiker who does a lot of hiking in the wilderness like me. I am now thinking of packing a gun for protection. We are now losing cattle and a wolf was just killed in elbert county from Minnesota.
When the wolves start tearing up our kids then we'll realize the mistake we made. Oh and wolves kill by disembowled ( tearing out the stomach) so you're still alive!

The other day a big man, serious man, he came to me and said "Sir!" and oh the tears in his eyes, big, strong man, he said - and believe me, I went to Madison Area Technical College, good school, great college, some even say the best - he said "Sir! There are millions of wolf attacks every day, sir!" and I said I have a great idea, everybody is saying it, I know it, you know it, because I have many great ideas, the most perfect ideas in history, and - you know, I once had the idea to build a wall around Mexico, a tremendous wall - great nation, by the way, Mexico, except some of them are rapists and criminals, but you see I really like President Orbrador of Mexico, consider him a friend and he greatly respects me and he once said "those wolves, they're a real problem for you up in the United States" - but actually he said Los Estados Unidos, that's a funny Spanish word for United States, better in English - and he said "we watch every day as millions of great Coloradans are killed by wolves, a real tragedy" and I get messages like this from all over the world and all over the political spectrum, what a terrible problem these wolves are, and only ONE SIDE!, one side, people, only one side wants to fix the problem, and so I had this idea, why don't we create a Forest Force to take out these wolves before they destroy Colorado, killing millions - did you hear that?, millions, not a hoax number like one or two attacks like they would have you believe - and this Forest Force, which I came up with, they'll be armed to the teeth with Boeing, Colt, Sidewinder, all made in America, and we'll send them into the forest to wolf hunt - not like all these fake news witch hunts against me, your favorite forum poster, Ben Feinstein, can you believe it? - and we'll send them into the forest to kill all the wolves and stop these criminal wolves who are just destroying America and there's no cattle in any other states because of all the wolves, it's a real problem people, let me tell you. MAKE COLORADO GREAT AGAIN!

Wolves are afraid of humans. Unless the grizzly bear returns to Colorado, there is only one animal to fear...a moose. And you can avoid those. Give 'em a wide berth or they will f**k your s**t up.

Ha! After a long drive the last few days, I needed a dumb post like this to snap me back to reality.

Number of people killed by lightning each year in North America: 21
Number of people killed by wolves in North America over the entirety of recorded history: 21

Clearly, a gun needs to become part of the 10 essentials so we can shoot the lightning when we get those late starts on 14ers during the summer.

What an incredibly brave statement.

You've swayed me. I am now terrified of wolves and from now on it is the only issue I care about when voting.

It's a play on words, Datsun-san. Like saying "Volvo attacks".
