Why, are they vegan?

I see myself out.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) — the agency responsible for the reintroduction — says they did not consider individual wolf personalities when selecting wolves, as they contend “it is impossible to know that type of information.”

Some eugenics shit right there, but this isn’t the first time animal breeders try to control “temperament”.

The reason that CPW wanted to select wolves that hadn’t attacked livestock, says Reading, is because “it’s no question” that opposition to the reintroduction is primarily coming from ranchers. Historically that’s been true too: gray wolves were native to Colorado until they were eradicated in the 1940s, because they kept killing livestock and game.

The villains are the ones who vilified wolves.
