Blaming rising grocery prices on wolves? That's a new one.

[cottonmountaineering]

Wolves killed $600k in livestock? Who could have even seen that coming, besides everyone.

Of the $582,000 in submitted claims, just over $18,000 is related to confirmed livestock deaths and injuries by wolves, according to the Sun. Most of the remaining $564,000 in claims are for livestock that have gone missing on ranches with a confirmed wolf attack; for cattle from affected ranches that were taken to market with a lower-than-normal weight; and for lower conception rates among livestock on affected ranches.

Why is it always the stereotypical tough guys who are actually the whiniest f***ing bitches on earth? Why is it always the whiniest f***ing bitches about government fraud and waste (as I assume is the case here) causing the most fraud and waste like is exactly the case here? "Big daddy gubmint I h8 u but plz kill alla da wolfies or pay me for things that happen normally plz UwU." Have they tried shooting their guns at tornadoes, wildfires, diseases, etc.? What a bunch of whiny f***ing bitches. Nut up, buttercup.

I don't care about wolves in CO, but this is totally unacceptable on this forum.

It says seeking $582,000. I think they are just throwing a lot of paper at the system here. Not that there are legit claims. There are. But you need to read the actual article.

Yeah, nice productive mountaineering thread here. All someone needs to do is use photos to advertise a commercial website and then we’ve officially hit a grand slam in terms of breaking all four forum rules before there’s even a second page on this thread.
