It's increasingly clear that there's going to be a prosecution here.  The only question is for what. After initially indicating it was more or less helpless in the matter, the Game & Fish has retracted that statement and made it clear that it's condemning this behavior.  The Governor has condemned it.  And Suzette County is indicating its looking at prosecution, for something.

Friday, April 4, 1924. Wolves in Albany County.

Educational broadcasting began with the introduction of what is now BBC School Radio.

Frank Capone, the brother of Al, received an elaborate funeral in Chicago.  Al closed speakeasies and gambling establishments that he owned in honor of his dishonorable brother.  Some of the press in the crime-ridden town lauded the late mobster and criticized the police in his death.

Wolves raided cattle in Albany County.


Wolves were recently reintroduced in Northern Colorado and there is some angst in some quarters that the reintroduced predators, unable to appreciate the giant dotted lines that make up state borders, will come into Wyoming, which they will, and be shot here, which is a real risk.  Perhaps somewhat mitigating against that, there's been rumors as far back as the 1980s, when I lived in Laramie, that there were already wolves in Albany County.

One of the reintroduce Colorado wolves has killed a calf in Grand County, Colorado, so the first instance of livestock depredation has now occured.  Initially, Colorado's fish and game declined to opinion on whether the wolf involved was one of the new residents, or one of the ones that was part of a pack of ten that established itself by crossing down from Wyoming in 2020.  The fact that they 'ad reestablished themselves on their own, as they will do, does give rise to the question of why an artificial reintroduction in Colorado was necessary.

It probably wasn't.

Gil Hodges, baseball great, was born in Princeton, Indiana.  Hodges died at age 47 after suffering a heart attack.

Going Feral: Another lawsuit over wolves.

Going Feral: Another lawsuit over wolves.

Another lawsuit over wolves.

Ten entities intend to sue the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for not extending protection for wolves under the Endangered Species Act.




When wolves were first introduced, it was my opinion that wolves themselves would not be a problem in the Rocky Mountain West, but the people who surround them.  

That has proven to be correct.
