Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Not sure how the WMI selects their letters to the editor, this one is a great one that shows the problem with deciding what to do with the wolf. We have people in Phoenix and people in Albuquerque who want their kids to get to see a Mexican wolf in the wild and fortunately for them the recovery area is miles and miles in between. Here is the letter: Posted: Saturday, September 24, 2011 5:00 am | Updated: 7:21 am, Sat Sep 24, 2011. Help rebuild grey wolf population Sandi Greene, Albuquerque, NM White Mountain Independent | To the Editor: I was so happy to read that Mexico is planning to release some Mexican Grey wolves. I know there has been controversy over the wolves, but with only 50 remaining in the US and Mexico, it is vital for the recovery of these majestic animals. People have to understand that it is just not the wolf that preys on livestock, there are bears, mountain lions, bobcats, pack of dogs, etc that contribute to killing livestock. For some reason most people hate, especially ranchers, so it just seems that the wolf takes the blame for all deaths of livestock. Wolves are part of our ecosystem and I want my children and grandchildren to be able to appreciate and see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. We need the reintroduction more so now that New Mexico has allowed trapping again in the wolves territory. Even though the wolf is still protected and still on the endangered list some will get trapped anyway. We as human beings cant and shouldnt pick and choose which predators can be eliminated. Havent we learned anything over the centuries? Lets help the endangered species rebuild, then let nature takes its course.

fatfootdoc Report post Posted September 27, 2011 Maybe she would like to let her kids and her grandkids observe the wolves from the wolf shelters they had to build for bus stops up by reserve cuz the wolves were stalking the kids?? Better yet, she could let them roll around in elk roadkill and maybe they could get some sweet up close and personal video footage!! Could she enter that on the game camera competition?? What a joke. ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
