Wolf reintroduction hits a snag

The only two wolves currently known to be in Colorado start to wake up after being tranquilized and collared by Colorado Parks and Wildlife on February 2, 2023.

The Associated Press reported this morning that a federal judge ruled against a request for a restraining order and injunction to stop the release of gray wolves into the state. But, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity says this is not true. KDNK’s Amy Hadden Marsh has this report on some legal wrinkles in the wolf reintroduction saga.

UPDATE DEC. 18, 2023:
Late Friday, December 15, federal judge Regina Rodriguez ruled against the ranchers' request for an injunction and temporary restraining order against the release of wolves, and to stay the renewal of a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Colorado Parks and Wildlife until litigation filed on December 11 is resolved.
