Colorado has spent thousands of dollars, and is planning more expenditures, to reintroduce wolves to the state.

Wyoming ranchers are preparing to “shoot on sight” as needed.

The border dispute has erupted after Colorado, in the throes of environmentalism, decided to reintroduce wolves to its plains and prairies.

So far 10 gray wolves have been released in recent weeks, and another 10 to 40 are planned to be released over coming years.

A report from Cowboy State Daily explains the Colorado wolves come from a population in Oregon “which have a history of killing cattle.”

So ranchers in Wyoming say they will use the state’s “shoot on sight” policy if those wolves venture across the state line.

“If any of those wolves cross over into Wyoming, they’re no longer protected. They’re classified as predators and they can be removed,” explained Jim Magagna, a sheep rancher and official for the Wyoming Stock Growers Association.

The wolf program was launched by Proposition 114, which Colorado voters adopted in 2020 with a supporting vote of not even 51%.

Wyoming, Montana and Idaho then refused to provide wolves, but Oregon officials agreed.

Five were released December 18, and then another five days ago.

Magagna said, “I’m not convinced that there is any wolf or any pack of wolves that isn’t capable of becoming acclimated to killing livestock.”

The two states have opposing policies regarding wolves.

“In Colorado, wolves will remain protected for the foreseeable future,” the report said. “On the Wyoming side, they’d be in the section of the Cowboy State where they are classified as a predatory species and may be shot on sight at any time without a license or bag limits.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.

Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.

Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.

None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.

The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, “CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”

In this very special issue, readers will experience the best and deepest thoughts and strategies on how to restore America to her former goodness and greatness, from some of the nation’s most respected analysts – everyone from Tucker Carlson to Dennis Prager to Victor Davis Hanson to Newt Gingrich and many more.
