FILE, A wolf sprints out of a crate in a field on Colorado’s Western Slope during reintroduction release by state wildlife agents in December 2023.

Workers at Safeway and King Soopers stores in Colorado may each go on strike. Then, the state euthanized a wolf for the first time since it reintroduced the endangered species. It shows how hard it will be for wolves to be reestablished. Plus, a Colorado family is remembering their mom and her incredible story of survival during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, 80 years ago this summer.
