I didn’t forget you, just posted too fast. Hope you and family have a Blessed Christmas.
Wonder what they’re doing with the spared puppy.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
The wolf re-introduction program has failed so miserably in Arizona and New Mexico at a cost of about $400,000 per wolf; now the US Fish and Wildlife Services is floating a proposal to introduce the Mexican Gray Wolf from California to West Texas and south of I-40 in their so-called habitat.
Since our worthless Congress won’t reform the Endangered Species Act, the next step is to organize all affected counties in this area to request coordinated agency status under the NEPA process. The custom, culture, and economies of the counties of these four states will be greatly affected just as they have been in Eastern Ariz and Western NM.
The second thing to do is sight in all firearms as illegal killings will continue just as they have in the area of this article.
On the other hand, the wolves might be an effective tool against illegal immigration!
The reintroduction of the Mexican gray wolf into SE Arizona and SW New Mexico has been nothing but an abject failure -- both for the residents of that beautiful part of the country and for the wolf. When a species is extirpated from an area, there is usually a good reason for it. In this case, the reason is simple: the wild wolf and domesticated mankind cannot coexist. When these two populations of apex predators find occasion to meet, almost always one or the other will be killed.
The liberal wildlife groups should know that. Not surprisingly, the Mexican gray wolf reintroduction program is sheer folly.
And on an entirely different note, I'm glad you liked by recent bird survey list. Aren't those huge numbers of waterfowl amazing?
I'm sure Bosque del Apache is similar. It's on my short list of places to visit.
Just got back from 4 days of bird surveys at Moapa (Nevada). If you like phainopeplas, crissal thrashers, and Abert's towhees, you'd love the place! Lol!
Merry Christmas!
