Wildlife activists want Colorado voters to decide whether the endangered gray wolf should be reintroduced decades after it disappeared from the state.
Backers of the initiative delivered thousands of signatures yesterday in hopes of getting the proposal on the 2020 ballot. Officials have 30 days to validate the signatures.
The gray wolf was hunted to near extinction in Colorado in the 1940’s. Colorado ranchers and other interests strongly oppose the initiative, saying it would threaten livestock.
