The Arizona Game and Fish Department removed four Mexican grey wolves from a ranch in Cochise County on Tuesday.
“We believe that the effective management of wolves and, on occasion, removal is a step toward social tolerance or at least social acceptance,” said Jim de Vos, Mexican wolf coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
The male, female, and their pups, which were found in a den, were ultimately translocated to a facility in New Mexico.
