Those who suggest CO deserves human derived elk slaughters because the wolf referendum passed this election is ignorant of the social political dynamics of CO.

That generalization is also stereotypical, but none the less the majority of rural CO voted against the referendum be it west slope rural or Front range rural. Excepting San Miguel and Pitkin County, but Telluride and Aspen can hardly be considered CO anymore.
l have a job where I am permitted to destroy wildlife with firearms, traps, and poison. However, I have no interest in the wanton destruction of wildlife or making statements of such activity to meet my political goals. I hope the investigation will conclude with successful prosecution.
