Sristi Kamal, senior Northwest representative for Defenders of Wildlife, said that if the latest permit is fully executed, it will jeopardize the survival of the Chesnimnus Pack. The pack had at least nine members by the end of 2021, according to ODFW’s annual population survey.![]()

“We are hoping that ODFW will not target helpless pups again but that means the permit will essentially wipe out most of the adult and yearling members,” Kamal said in a statement. “Depending on which two (or) three wolves are left, the survival chances of the pups decreases significantly.”![]()

Kamal said the timing of the permit was also concerning, since there were no further documented depredations after the June 10 take of the second wolf from the pack.![]()

F1740 - Lupa from Arizona.![]()
![]()
Lupa, Mexican wolf F1740! Lupa was born at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoological Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2018.![]()
She injured her leg and was separated from her family for a time while the leg healed. Her leg injury made the reintroduction to her family difficult, so she was transferred to Southwest Wildlife when she was about 6 months old. We were expecting a young male wolf as a new resident at the sanctuary and hoped she and he could be paired and grow up together.![]()
Lupa now lives with handsome male wolf Jack, M1593, in an off-exhibit enclosure.![]()
