They took the ones that were the most aggressive so that when they put them on the ground, they would survive everything. It's like, oh, my God, no, no.

And I don't think it was an F you to the renters. I think what happened was because of the ballot box initiative, The state of Colorado was required by law by December 31st of 2023 to get 10 wolves or so on the ground. But what if they weren't successful?

I don't know. But what I'm saying is they had a pretty limited time. They spent a lot of time trying to prep people and doing committees and working with people to get them prepared. And by the time they were able to get everything in place, they were running against a wall. They introduced these wolves very late in the year. I think it was December.

And the only place they could get source wolves, they got them from Oregon. And that point, Oregon gave them 10 wolves. Half of them, roughly half of them, happened to have some livestock experience. So this time, right now, they're already gearing up for the next reintroduction, this winter probably. Yeah.

They're working with British Columbia, I believe, and they're going to take wolves, presumably that have not had livestock experience, and let them go, like they did with the original introductions into Yellowstone and Idaho. And I really believe because of the political pressure to squeeze this into a short timeline –

that the people who were really pro-wolf, it was forced that they had to take the wolves that they got. That's what I believe. I don't think it was an FU, I think it was unintentional, but it's like, these are the wolves you're gonna get, and they took them.

Well... I know, but I'm not there, and I'm not trying to badmouth their effort. They were under a lot of pressure. Half the state wants wolves, half doesn't. They're under a short timeline. Oregon was the only state that offered up their wolves. Wyoming said no. Montana said no. Everybody said no. Oregon says, you can have 10 of ours. Here's the 10 you're going to get.
