Mexican wolf didn’t have to be capturedbit.ly/3Y9oR5YConservationists had been celebrating the travels of Asha, a.k.a. Mexican gray wolf #f2754, the young female disperser from the Rocky Prairie Pack of Arizona. She had made it all the way to Taos.Taos is north of Interstate 40, east of Interstate 25, and outside of the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area of southern New Mexico and Arizona.Then she was stopped in her tracks by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who can’t seem to allow for the wild in the name of wild.Justification for her capture was that she needed to be kept safe from reckless hunters and careless drivers, brought back into the area she had already left, and put in queue for whelping pups.A boundary of Interstate 40 is an arbitrary line that resulted from a political compromise between the federal government and the states of Arizona and New Mexico at the outset of the program. The boundary is not based on suitable habitat or prey densities. It is a political line to support the cattle associations paranoid thoughts for protection of their herds. It is backed of course by theUSFWS an organization that is incompetent and is directly responsible for the continuing slow incline of the wolf population.Of course you understand the wild life associations in both states are also along for the ride with USFWS on inability to completethe assistance for the wolves who are just being wolves. Wolves are very capable in producing pups without the help of the government agencies bumbling fingers.Those of us who watch the disorganization of the simple actionsOf wolves to procreate when hemmed in by fears of old men in DC and the states of the Southwest are beginning to speak out louder because the whispering of the past are not working for the benefit of these endangered animals.Thank you to Greta Anderson of the Western Watershed Projectwho has stepped out and others are following in their writings for the benefit of the wolves. This can no longer work to creep forward one step at a time..Bravo to the Lobos. They will continue to step forward on their ownbehalf and to heck with the meek who only whisper on their behalf.By the way Southern Colorado is very arid and I doubt there are large wolves in this area as wolves need to eat and the elk are in northernColorado in the mountains.
