Federal agents search Datil [New Mexico] properties in case of Mexican wolf kills
From ABQJournal.com:
They were father and son, roaming Catron County as part of the Sawtooth pack. Within a month of each other, both collared Mexican gray wolves were trapped on private property near Datil. The father was left to die of thirst before his body was placed beside a highway, according to authorities. The son was shot in the spine and beaten over the head, his body moved onto public lands where cattle graze.
A monthslong investigation into the deaths of the protected species led U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agents to search two properties April 9, according to a search warrant return filed in U.S. District Court in Las Cruces.
