A controversial plan to reintroduce wolves in Colorado this year is encountering new obstacles.
advancing through the state Senate would prevent the reintroduction until federal authorities decide on a 10 order to list the wolf as a "nonessential, experimental" species.
If listed as "nonessential" it would allow the killing of wolves that attack livestock. But if not, they would be listed as an endangered species and protected against being killed.Proposition 114 requires the state "take the steps necessary to begin reintroduction of gray wolves" by Dec. 31, and Gov. Jared Polis' administration believes voters intended to have wolves on the ground by then.
