Colo Dems want to reintroduce wolverines, just not the ones from ‘Red Dawn’

Colorado has finally come to its senses and is looking to introduce the Wolverines in the High County to kick all those commie socialist bastards out of the state!

Alas, If only it were the Wolverines from the classic 1984 action film “Red Dawn,” in which a rag tag group of Colorado teens fight back against an alliance of Russian and Latin American states that have invaded the U.S.

Good times.

Sadly, it’s just Democrats doubling down on lessons not learned in the wolf reintroduction debacle with a new bill to relocate wolverines to the High Country and feed on Colorado’s sheep.

From Denver7:

Senate Bill 24-171, which is sponsored by Senators Perry Will (R) and Dylan Roberts (D) and Representatives Barbara McLachlan (D) and Tisha Mauro (D), would allow Colorado Parks and Wildlife to begin a reintroduction process. Part of that process includes adopting rules for compensating livestock owners who suffer losses due to the wolverine.

Wolverines resemble small bears, and their populations range from Canada and Alaska as well as into the North Cascades Range in Washington and even the Northern Rockies of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.

But the last confirmed sighting in Colorado was more than a century ago.

Wolverines across the planet number up to 30,000, and also roam in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, China and Mongolia.

Colorado never has been prime or highly preferred habitat for wolverines. We are actually at the far Southern periphery of their traditional habitat. And warming could make Colorado even less suitable as a reintroduction zone. #copolitics #coleg https://t.co/dXYqPZVaGr pic.twitter.com/akChFpjqnc

It begs the question, why do Democrats want to drag wolverines from regions in which they choose to live and spend hundreds of millions of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars to forcibly relocate them into Colorado?

This is just another bureaucracy-building gambit by @coparksandwildlife, giving state ecocrats another ostensibly “wild” species to chase around the countryside and babysit. It’s another attack on ranchers, which will also impact recreationists. A… https://t.co/dXYqPZVaGr

It’s a conundrum.

When last we checked, two of the the wolves Colorado spent a fortune to bring into the state a few months ago are traveling dangerously towards the Wyoming state line, where they can be shot and killed if they cross the border.

One might argue the wolves would be safer and populate naturally if left to their own GPS devices. The same must be said of the wolverine.
