I don't understand the obsession with reintroducing these animals. They kill indiscriminately and terrorize live stock.

It’s to make living in rural areas more difficult and to bankrupt ranchers. Ranchers and homesteaders made several species extinct in Colorado, and they had good reason to, the apex predators threatened their lives and livelihoods. It’s not easy living in the high Rockies, short growing season, months of snow and ice, temps -30 and below some years, then these idiots come around and undo some of the civilizing that these early pioneers accomplished.
