We the people demand you release Wolf M1396

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service recently removed Guardian (wolf M1396) from his mate and pups in the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. Guardian is the alpha of the Luna group, and his loss threatens the progress of the Mexican gray wolf recovery program, which was just starting to see some gains.
With as few as 97 Mexican wolves in the wild, it's hard to see why Guardian was trapped and removed from the wild simply for killing livestock to feed his starving pups and mate. Ranchers in the area share much of the blame for the loss of their animals, as they were not removing carcasses that wolves did not kill, which led to scavenging, which led to depredation.
Sign the petition and urge the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to release Guardian back into the wild immediately to help his pack and the overall population survive!
When you removed Guardian (wolf M1396) from his mate and pups you threatened the progress of the Mexican grey wolf recovery program, which was just starting to see some gains. The Luna pack has lost their alpha male due to your actions, threatening the group's survival.

Still no word on whether or not Guardian has been release, let alone if he is even still alive or not... but I refuse to give up! Planning another round of calls and emails and letters/petitions soon - but can I count on your support again? Please? For the Luna pack!
