Is it OK to post without a snappy headline?

Splitting Hairs – Colorado Wolves

Suspicious minds (mine) have little confidence in the truthfulness of state agencies including Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Ranchers are now allowed to kill wolves attacking “working dogs”. You can read the whole article at the link. The  specific bullshit reason is, per the State, this.

Language allowing wolves caught “in the act of attacking” livestock or working dogs to be killed was included in the 10(j) rule but the words “or working dogs” were “inadvertently” left out of the state regulations, commission chair Dallas May said Friday.

Routt County where I spent my teens and still have rancher friends has two confirmed wolf kills. You can read the whole article at the link. What caught my attention is this gem.

The first fatal wolf attack reported in the county came on June 15. Colorado Parks and Wildlife does not release public information on the attacks beyond confirming them in an online database

Does not release public information? Who the hell gives them the authority to withhold that information, and why?

 Turkish Boz

Guardian livestock dogs are gaining use now. In my youth I can’t remember much talk, or use, of these dogs. Two rancher friends operate a 100+ year old ranch in Routt County. Now in their late 70’s, the day to day operation is run by their son and his wife. They raise and sell Turkish Boz guardian dogs.

Age is what you make of it. My friends, Jim and Jo, are working 14 hour days right now putting up hay.

He has been a snake his whole life; why would he change now?

The damage SloJo and his radical handlers can do in the next few months shouldn’t be ignored. One bloggers take.

Made me snort










As always, YMMV

He's a lying, dog-faced phony soldier and capable of doing absolutely anything his handlers tell him to do. Other than that, nothing to be concerned about.

Good ones, and that is 'odd' about not releasing 'public' information!

Turkish Boz looks most formidable. Around here it's mostly some variant of Pyrenees, keeps the coyote off.
