"Meanwhile, another yearling at the ranch of Conway Farrell in Grand County has been killed by a wolf, according to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife
wolf depredation report.

Farrell has now lost six yearling cattle to wolves in the past month."

What's important is the front range liberals can feel good about reintroducing the mystical magical wolf into the sacred Colorado wilderness and restoring it to its natural state.

Seriously, what did people thing would happen.

Some people seem to forget not everyone is obsessed with beef.

Oh noooo not the cows that emit more greenhouse gasses than any other food and destroy our native environment while doing it. Oh noooo such regret I am so torn.

Heat kills orders of magnitude more cattle per year than wolves, better not let the snowflakes know. Therefore, I propose that we unite behind Supra's idea to #ExterminateHumanity by nuking the sun. Not only would this save the massive hoards of humans being killed by wolves, it would save all the thousands of cattle from dying from heat, because the sun would be gone. Frankly, if you don't support this measure, you hate Colorado Ranchers, pretty simple.

It's a good thing we nuked the hurricanes first so we can focus on nuking the scourge that is the sun.

In lieu of these findings I think we need to reevaluate the danger of mountain lions. If you think wolves are the killers lurking in the woods to tear you apart, think again! Its the cougars. Cougars are dangerous. And they're EVERYWHERE. We've turned a blind eye to their cunning stealth by worrying about the big bad wolf. Guess what? When a cougar grabs hold of you they don't let go! Its just lights out, brotha.

Hiking solo will never be the same.

I have an alternative explanation: poor wolf did not survive encounter with Bambie Thug.

I propose a better solution. Mountains themselves kill more people even than mountain lions. We can kill two birds with one stone - mountains killing people and mountain lions killing people - if we just nuke the mountains into oblivion. Nowhere for mountain lions to live if there's no mountains, and no mountains or mountain lions to kill anyone. This has the added benefit of having fun with nukes because we've already nuked hurricanes and the sun. It's a rare triple win.
