You may be anti-wolf or you may be pro-wolf, but one thing is for sure: The Mexican wolf program is a failure. It is harmful for humans and wolves. It hasn't made any progress because it's not about "wolf recovery" but about money and power.
The Mexican wolf program is rotten at the core and is beyond fixing. It needs to be done away with. All the people, government agencies and non-profits who are making money on this program at the expense of the public and the wolves themselves need to be cut off from the flow of money.
The following is an email from Jess Carey, Catron County's Wolf Incident Investigator.
---------------
Hi everyone. There will be a meeting in Las Cruces on June 9th, starting at 0900am. It is very important for you to attend and bring as many people as you can to this meeting. The N.M. Game Commission and Governor Martinez has received a letter and documentation from the Catron County Commission with a request to remove the State of New Mexico from participation in Mexican Wolf Recovery and to protect our children and family ranchers in future wolf interactions.
There will be pro-wolf supporters/orgs at this meeting, which means we need to car pool every person we can to attend this meeting. We have a chance to change things at this moment in time, we may never have this same chance again, so, it is up to each and everyone of us to take action as one. We also need to flood the Game Commission and Governor Martinez with emails and letters to "Remove the State" from Mexican Wolf Recovery and take an active positive stance to protect our children from Habituated wolves that have cause Psychological Trauma (post traumatic stress disorder) in our children and the loss of livestock that has caused the loss of ranch after ranch due to wolf depredations. Call everyone you know and get the word out as we have little time, bring as many people as you can to the meeting. Thank you....Jess Carey, CWII if you have any questions please call 575-533-6668
