Speak Up for Southwest Wolves!

Target: Ben Tuggle, Southwest Regional Director for the Fish & Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

Mexican wolves -- one of the most endangered animals in the world -- play an important role in restoring balance to Southwest forests. But recovery efforts have yet to ensure a lasting future for these animals that play an important role in the culture and wilderness of the Southwest.

Commonly referred to as "el lobo," the Mexican gray wolf once ranged from central Mexico to southwestern Texas, southern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. But alarming new population numbers show that Southwest wolves are down to only 52 individuals and 4 breeding pairs.

Your comments can make a difference -- so speak up! Please sign our petition to Ben Tuggle, Southwest Regional Director for the Fish & Wildlife Service: tell him it's time to restore the Mexican wolf to its rightful place, and ecological role, in the wilds of the Southwest.

Dear Mr. Tuggle:

I appreciate the complexities of restoring the Mexican wolf to its rightful place, and ecological role, in Arizona and New Mexico. I am writing to remind you that the complexities are political, not biological -- the wolves know how to form packs, kill elk, and raise pups, but they count on the US Fish and Wildlife Service to secure their recovery.

I urge you to make sure that all the management actions and discretionary "operating procedures" of the Mexican wolf reintroduction program make a positive contribution to recovery of the species, as the Endangered Species Act requires.

We signed the “Speak Up for Southwest Wolves!” petition!

Without the wolf Man would not be what he is today, for it was the Co-operation between the two that both Man and dog still have this natural bonding, and the dog first came from Wolves. they are a part of our heritage. so look after them not destroy.

These wolves are on the endangered list and politics must be set aside to ensure that these wolves have an opportunity to thrive. Wolves play an important part of the ecology system.

Remember humans: animals were the first here on earth. They can live in harmony with us humans, so why can't we? It is a disgrace for the human race to kill other sentient beings to take over their environment. Stop killing beautiful wildlife.
