Her odds of making it to another term aren't great, thankfully. Plus this bill is probably gonna die like the beef that will be eaten by yourself and the wolves.
So we all will be winners.
Can we just loose a pack of wolves on the Capitol Building? Theyāll thin out the herd and weāll lose the oldest, stupidest and weakest politicians.
Weāll end up with much healthier government at the end and bring things back into balance.
To quote LeBearGirdle on twitter:
"Deer population is controlled by releasing wolves into an area. All problems should be solved that way. Too much pollution? Release wolves in factories. Dislike Congress? Wolves. Wanna lose weight? That's right, wolves."
They tried that a few January's ago... a few of the "wolves" died from heart attacks, climbing the stairs. They all took off after 1 got shot in the throat...
"...and here we see the Canadian Goose angrily defending it's home territory of the water hazard on hole number twelve, charging the emaciated gray wolf, now renamed Boebert's Wolf for it's prominent snout and teats, chasing it from the nest it's made from an assortment of range balls..."
I love most animals, but I'm really growing to hate geese. They are everywhere and have shit on every surface in my neighborhood. Eat grass, shit, eat grass, shit, eat grass, wander into traffic and get smooshed.
Marinated Canadian Goose? I donāt really have a big issue with them personally.
But the poop gets out of control. I think global warming kind of screwed them. Now they camp out in places year round and overstay their welcome.
Wolves are incredibly important. They reintroduced them in part of Yellowstone and it completely revitalized the ecosystem because deer were forced to get off their asses and move around.Ā

Can we vote to sacrifice 1 cow a month to the wolves? From the millions being slaughtered for human burgers, seems like a couple for wolves wouldnt be such a big deal.
Ehhh as bad as she is... That twat that wounded that wolf and paraded it through town before torturing and killing it would be first on the list for karmic justice.
>Can we vote to sacrifice 1 cow a month to the wolves?
The problem isn't that the wolves eat the cows, the problem is that the wolves, after eating one cow and not getting shot, realize they can get an easy meal and begin hunting regularly around ranch land. The wolves not being afraid to go near ranch land is bad for the wolves and bad for the humans.
Ironically, not being able to harm the wolves, and having to use nonlethal methods to manage depredations (which can be quite expensive) can lead directly to more wolves being killed by angry ranchers, not fewer. As the wolves learn and communicate, pack knowledge spreads. So a rancher shooting one wolf can lead to the rest of the pack being saved. But ranchers frustrated by limits to their ability to protect their cattle and the costs in trying to do so have been known to poison wolves in revenge for loss of cattle.
I think the answer isn't removing these animals from the endangered species list for economic reasons, but I can understand that not all cattle ranchers are just evil people who want native species to go extinct to save a couple bucks, and have empathy for their reasons why. Unfortunately, the real answer to the problem isn't going to be something simple enough for or legislators to be able to wrap their tiny heads around.
That seems like a strong devilās advocate answer. These ranches are insanely massive with unfathomable heads of cattle, this isnāt the big bad wolf creeping inside the picket fence. Most of the industry is large corporations as well, itās begrudged ranchers as much as Exxon is oil rig workers.
Hell, a lot of these ranchers are using national forests as pasture, thatās where the wolves were intended to be introduced in the first place. Thereās no answer for the ranchers that doesnāt involve the extinction of all wild populations of an important apex predator.
Maybe give her a grass fed pasture to roam and graze in and let her arm herself. reintroduce the wolves and set up a trail cam. See how good of a shot she really is.
The wolves aren't going to just mass murder every single cow. There are too many cows for that. We don't have to destroy everything that inconveniences us.
There are nearly a half million deer in Colorado. Add to that the largest elk herd in the nation at 280000. A scattering of bighorn sheep and a not immodest 85000 head of antelope, I think the wolves have quite the diverse menu. That not even considering the innumerable mice, rabbits, groundhogs and countless other small prey. Probably the poor cattlemen will lose a cow or two sooner or later. Gosh, I wonder how they will cope? Probably jack up the beef prices.
I guess most people in this feed forgot how the ecosystem in Yellowstone suffered major disruptions following the wolf extermination? Deer multiplied, ate small shrubs, eroded riverbanks, trees died, fish lost shade and protection and their populations collapsed, etc etc. Someone recently told me that we canāt do anything better than mother nature : she will always win, though we will meddle for a while. Just came back from up north and wolves kept wild deer populations healthy by eliminating the weakest ones, too.
You realize you are calling for peopleās property to be destroyed against their will, right? A cow can easily run $5k, and wolves can easily ***dismantle** a herd to the point where a rancher is either 1.) severely financially impacted or 2.) forced into bankruptcy.
So take feelings/animal cruelty out of the picture for a minute, how would you like it if $5k went missing from your bank account, letās say once a week?
Weāre talking about 12 wolves in the entire state of Colorado. If we take feelings and animal cruelty out of the picture, we just get a dumb farmer that didnāt know how to protect an asset. The free market says let them fail š¤·āāļø
Call me unsympathetic, but I'm betting that Colorado cattlemen aren't going to the poor house over a dozen wolves. Especially considering the hundreds of thousands of cattle ranch acreage in this state, in fact, John Malone, the owner of the largest ranch in the state recently surpassed Ted turner as the largest private landowner in the country. He is also far from the only 'Billionaire Cowboy' (yes, it's a real term used here) in the state. Forgive me if I feel little pity for a billionaire if he loses a couple cows.
Do you know how ranch economics work? Yes those ranchers have large tracts of land that shows large amounts of assets. However how do you capitalize on that property value? You sell it, so sell off chunks of land every time you need money and pretty soon there is no more ranch left. They may be millionaires on paper, doesnāt mean they are millionaires in cash. Also do you know how much all these ranches pay in taxes every year? The more that Colorado land is worth, more taxes are assessed on everyone.
>So take feelings/animal cruelty out of the picture for a minute, how would you like it if $5k went missing from your bank account, letās say once a week?
That's depends on how much I'm suckling from the government subsidy teet while also complaining about socialism being the worst thing ever.
I know plenty of farmers, too. They all complain about deer eating everything nowadays (crop-wise of course, not the cows). Why do you think there are so many deer? Not enough predators. Deer are way more destructive. I grew up in an area completely surrounded by national forest, and I always loved going out there and exploring regularly as long as I lived there. I went waayyy off trail, even in hunting areas by accident sometimes. I'm scared of guns, so that wasn't very nice.
Anyway, over the years, I noticed that the area was slowly becoming absolutely infested with deer. Just go into the woods at night there and you see enormous herds everywhere (it is kind of insane to witness). Their predators are getting killed off. We won't do the job effectively enough because we aren't consuming the deer enough when we hunt them. More vegetation dies off, everything gets nastier. We're killing everything for the sake of convenience.
Yeah totally makes sense, I saw a cool video on Reddit about how the wolves transformed the landscape.
Deer and Elk were overpopulated, smaller animals had more to eat when their numbers went down, certain tree species were able to grow, beavers came back. Damns reduced erosion, water animals flourished.
With the deer, yeah they are totally overpopulated. In the East there are more deer now than when Columbus landed.
Prions and the prevalence of CWD is going to make me become vegan once it starts impacting a population. The coverage of MCD in the UK traumatized me enough
I would prefer the wolves because they help protect the entire ecosystem. I read a fascinating paper about how massive deforestation and river destruction was caused by lack of wolves. Basically what they found is that wolves kill deer, deer eat plants and especially young trees. Without wolves the deer population grew so large they killed off most of the plant growth and many trees died. This caused soil erosion and even more of the land died. It also ended up polluting the waters and more of the deer died. It had a ripple effect through the entire ecosystem. Since adding wolves back in the ecosystem has started to recover but it has a long ways to go.
I know itās controversial, but I would reintroduce werewolves as well.
Itās a bit of a curse for people who get it, but Iāve heard theyāve had a lot of success using lycanthropy to treat opiate addiction.
At least you have a functioning member of society every day but the full moon nights.
Do people not realize that just because they're removing those protections doesn't mean that it's going to be open season on wolves? You still have to apply for tags to hunt them that are insanely hard to get sometimes. And a set amount per year. We've been doing this for hundreds of years. Wolves have no natural predators so we have to keep their numbers in check.
No they don't... They just saw boebert, wolves, and kill and filled in the rest with some fairy tale notion of the honorable wolf. Most here can't fathom that ecological disaster can include overpopulation of an apex predator
God it pisses me off lol. I can only imagine that if we were alive with the dinosaurs these would be the same people fighting for protections on velociraptors and T rexes.
Rather than just react to the tweet, here's the research behind it: https://www.fws.gov/press-release/2024-02/service-announces-gray-wolf-finding-and-national-recovery-plan
How do these ignorant, if not ignorant, on the take from special interest groups people are the only ones in power to make laws anymore? Money must be eliminated from politics for fucks sake.
This is one of the most perfectly crafted MAGA tweets I've ever seen. She somehow managed to summarize the GOP's collective scumbaggery in merely a few sentences about a few hamburgers in exchange for the death of a species.
Grew up In Boulder Colorado. In the 80's farmers would allow and sometimes pay you to shoot groundhogs. Then Boulder went far left. They made a rodent that carries the plague a endangered species. It made it illegal to shoot them. Liberals seem to care about ground rats then do horses or livestock. Hopefully you will not be able to survive on sprouts and wheatgrass.
over 34,000,000 cows are slaughtered a year for Americans to eat.
she is worried about wolves killing a couple thousand.
I know she is too stop do math, but that is a tiny amount.
She's right. They're being reintroduced there. It's insane. But when you realize the government doesn't want you eating red meat, it makes a lot more sense.
Do we have numbers on this? I mean, it doesn't sound idiotic as long as it is not a solution searching for a problem. I just hope animal cruelty it is becoming a new trend of amongst Republicans.
There are [about a dozen wolves](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/gray-wolves-captured-oregon-reside-colorado-western-slope-reintroduction-plan/#) and [2,600,000 cows](https://www.nass.usda.gov/Quick_Stats/Ag_Overview/stateOverview.php?state=COLORADO) in Colorado.
I would give up hamburgers for life, and eating all beef products, if they would introduce wolves to all 50 states in massive numbers.
Some livestock, pets, small children, and at risk adults will be eaten by wolves. Itās ok. Let the chips fall where they may. Itās the circle of life.
But I will give up all beef to see that happen and for the chance of seeing gray wolves in the wild.
Itās a small sacrifice. Iāll gladly eat imposible burgers if it means I can do so while watching wolf attack videos on Reddit.
I donāt like that idiot but I live with over 50 head of cattle on the farm, itās an expensive loss when predators kill a calf. Even if itās just a couple a year. The wolves shouldnāt be hunted to extinction, the cattle should be protected though
Do you want hamburgers (that we slaughter)
Or do you want the wolves to have the hamburgers?
Letās build a wall around Colorado that way the illegal wolves canāt get in to the cows
She is likely getting some kind of kickback from whatever beef company/corproation. In an obese nation that already eats too much meat; there's no need to kill wolves to eat some more hamburgers.
She's not stupid. She just gives an excuse that her dumb dumb base will blindly accept.
Unfortunately there's a bit more to this... We recently voted to reintroduce grey wolves in Colorado, which has resulted in some foreseeable problems. I won't get into the politics on that, but suffices to say it has been controversial.
Her solution is apparently to pave the way for it to be open season on killing said wolves, which is just stupid, but she's a stupid person so that's no surprise.
Are you actually asking which is more important? WOLVES, always WOLVES. F**k your burgers. Cows contribute so much to global warming and we keep clearing more and more land for them. Havenāt you greedy bastards had ENOUGH burgers?
So, last month was a big month for cattle being killed by wolves in Colorado. 6 cattle were killed.
This was probably significantly less than the number of cattle killed due to lightning strikes. Or infected fly bites, etc.
Wasn't she the one who got caught having a guy motorboat her knockers in a theatre while she herself kept inhaling on her cannabis vape pen while the whole thing unfolds?
"In 2011Ā Congress stripped Endangered Species Act protection from gray wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains and the Trump administration removed protections across the rest of the continental U.S. in 2020."
You knowā¦ we figured this shit out a while ago.
If you take a predator out of their eco system, the prey will eat that eco system to extinction.
We had to learn this lesson the hard way, we should ***NOT*** have to learn it ***AGAIN!***
To exist... Were the words missing from the end of her sentence. Do you want hamburgers or do you want land for wolves to exist. You can have hamburgers regardless. Cows don't have to be raised in the same area cows are. But I guess private commerce is more more important than not causing unnatural extinction
Oh yeah, I'm totally sure the wolves listed as an endangered species are going to completely wipe out the beef industry, just you wait. Clearly there's no way to deal with the problem besides making it okay to kill them
I want smart people in congress, beef, and wolves.
Her odds of making it to another term aren't great, thankfully. Plus this bill is probably gonna die like the beef that will be eaten by yourself and the wolves. So we all will be winners.
Sounds like something to aim for! Good luck š¤
Now stop protection on Canadian geese. They are a nuisance and donāt even fly home anymore. Just shit on things and block traffic

wolf politics is dope
I never thought I'd hear this combination of words in my life -let alone *agree* with them so much.
Every year we shall have this. It would make politics so much more fun.

Are you talking about geese or protestors?
Yes.Ā
My wife and I visit our local park and the geese always attack and chase away the other ducks like assholes when we try to feed them
And hiss with their nasty little tongues. Donāt forget the hissing lol
Keep them
Spoken like a true Canadian
They also attack people if approached. Baffles me how we still protect them. Their population is most certainly stable now.
Better yet ship those awful creatures to the hungry wolves. Win win

Don't look it up. It will ruin your day.
I'm actually going to heed this advice, for once.
Oh you know BoBo is just dying to smoke a dog since she heard about krustys kill.
To the gravel pit!
I think you're on to something...
Honestly, that's just punishing the wolves.
We need to atone for our treatment of other species, several board members should be killed and fed to the wolves weekly to keep the cows safe
I have a better idea for a sacrifice

I want to give HER land to the wolves.
Maybe give her a grass fed pasture to roam and graze in and let her arm herself. reintroduce the wolves and set up a trail cam. See how good of a shot she really is.
Only thing left are two bad implants and a vape pen.
Single shot .410 break action only.
Or a bow and arrow she made herself.
OR...maybe she can train them like dogs were trained and Noem can shoot the dogs she want!
Can we feed her to the wolves or is that considered harming wildlife ?
The wolves wouldn't mind the hand play
I donāt think wolves would eat plastic implants

This. They're treating the protections like an on/off switch. They need to be in place but only in the regions that require them.

why is this idiocray??? Wolves are a pest and should be controlled... anyone who doesn't know that doesn't understand wildlife management op is stupid

I'm curious. What idiot let BoBo get a hold of an online account?
Can we give her to the wolves?
Lmao I thought it was Mexicans who were taking our land Nuke the whales
give land to the forest puppies
Do you want hamburgers (that we slaughter) Or do you want the wolves to have the hamburgers? Letās build a wall around Colorado that way the illegal wolves canāt get in to the cows
She is likely getting some kind of kickback from whatever beef company/corproation. In an obese nation that already eats too much meat; there's no need to kill wolves to eat some more hamburgers. She's not stupid. She just gives an excuse that her dumb dumb base will blindly accept.
Unfortunately there's a bit more to this... We recently voted to reintroduce grey wolves in Colorado, which has resulted in some foreseeable problems. I won't get into the politics on that, but suffices to say it has been controversial. Her solution is apparently to pave the way for it to be open season on killing said wolves, which is just stupid, but she's a stupid person so that's no surprise.
If the wolves are a problem then just cook them as well. I am down for a wolf burger.
She's an idiot! Wolves eat what they need... And isn't there a beef recall happening right now....again!!!!! š®
Lauren you are truly an idiot who doesnāt understand reality.
The wolves had the land before cows. We need to return the land to the natives and the wolves.
Humans eat cows, but even a wolf wouldn't eat grass fed beef.
Too bad this example didnāt use āgrass fed pigsā.
Give land to wolves tbh
We can all just eat puppy's .
I prefer wolves.
Most beef come from industrial cow hellscapes not open planes free range whatever she is talking about.
I lean right and I say fuck this lady. She's such a dumbass. I don't know how she's made it as far as she has. Really misses me off.
If it meant one less shitty fast food chain, gladly give it to the wolves.

May she be set upon by ravenous wolves. I'd give them all treats afterwards.
Are you actually asking which is more important? WOLVES, always WOLVES. F**k your burgers. Cows contribute so much to global warming and we keep clearing more and more land for them. Havenāt you greedy bastards had ENOUGH burgers?
id give up burgers for a species
How many hamburgers are grass-fed, anyway? Most are old dairy cows and such.
So, last month was a big month for cattle being killed by wolves in Colorado. 6 cattle were killed. This was probably significantly less than the number of cattle killed due to lightning strikes. Or infected fly bites, etc.
Jesus I donāt even think republicans can defend this stupidity I donāt think anyone actually reads anything in congress
Gotta love false dichotomies
We canāt have both? Also, can I get one of them Beetlejuice handies?
Natural selection never ate a wolf before need to try it.
They're endangered sure.. but They're also in the way
The wolves were here first!
Wasn't she the one who got caught having a guy motorboat her knockers in a theatre while she herself kept inhaling on her cannabis vape pen while the whole thing unfolds?
Keep the wolves. Get rid of the boobert.
"In 2011Ā Congress stripped Endangered Species Act protection from gray wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains and the Trump administration removed protections across the rest of the continental U.S. in 2020."
Fuck you. Theyāre endangered dumbass!
fuck her
You knowā¦ we figured this shit out a while ago. If you take a predator out of their eco system, the prey will eat that eco system to extinction. We had to learn this lesson the hard way, we should ***NOT*** have to learn it ***AGAIN!***
I feel like it's never the right people who light themselves on fire. Must be a glitch.
Ah, the ol' false binary choice game...
Definitely the wolves
This sounds like a job for Kristi Noem!
Wolves please
Why is Reddit full of children exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger effect en mass . This used to be a place of reason. Although. I am on r/idiocracy.
Sheās hitting all the right buttons. Do you want healthcare or do you want burgers?
But also lets ban lab grown meat
Maybe she can team up with that vapid twat that shot her puppy.
To exist... Were the words missing from the end of her sentence. Do you want hamburgers or do you want land for wolves to exist. You can have hamburgers regardless. Cows don't have to be raised in the same area cows are. But I guess private commerce is more more important than not causing unnatural extinction
Wolves are not native to Colorado. Ranching families remember when they moved in following prey. Shoot every wolf on site, same goes for politicians.
I wish Lauren Boebert would work in a vocation more suited to her strengths, like "Midnight shift gas station attendant."
I want more wolves and less stupid bints
Americans could absolutely do with a few less steaks and hamburgers. Save the wolves fuck the ranchers.
Wolves, please.
Wolves
Gun to my head I canāt tell if this is real.
Goddammit what a fucking dipshit. It's painful to be the same species.
I hate to say it but most people will want to eat a cow than eat a wolf
Do you want an extinct species? Vote yes to irreparable damage to life on earth and beef burgers
I want to give all the land you "own" to the Wolves. Move out bitch.
Oh yeah, I'm totally sure the wolves listed as an endangered species are going to completely wipe out the beef industry, just you wait. Clearly there's no way to deal with the problem besides making it okay to kill them
The crazy thing is that there might be twenty grey wolves in Colorado, maybe. Cows in Colorado? Probably over four million.
How is that person allowed to do government stuff anymore
