Groups Request End to Trapping & Snaring in Mexican Wolf Habitat in NM
14 Mexican Wolves have Been Trapped by Private Trappers – Press Release – WildEarth Guardians
Santa Fe, NM. Today, WildEarth Guardians, the Sierra Club, and Southwest Environmental Center petitioned federal agencies and requested an emergency halt to all trapping and snaring on the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. Numerous Mexican gray wolves, which face imminent extinction, have been harmed by traps set throughout the recovery area. The groups sought immediate increased protections for Mexican wolves or lobos from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service in New Mexico.

It now appears another Mexican Gray Wolf has gone missing. This time it is the alpha male of the Hawks Nest Pack AM1044. This pack has been one of the few that has had success breeding and rearing pups. Based on what limited information I have heard, the circumstances behind the disappearence of this wolf do not sound natural.
The slow bleed of the population continues and the USFWS continues to take no corrective action. Even the supposed release of another pack into the recovery area this summer cannot be confirmed
Here’s the latest on Hawk’s Nest AM1044. The news is not good.

My post above is a repost of the same comment from another Lobo topic on this blog site. The intent of the repost is to point out that we continue to lose wolves and the USFWS has done nothing to reverse the trend.
LIBERATE NATURE!!!
