Officals kill male Mexican gray wolf in Catron [New Mexico]
From DChieftain.com:
After at least seven livestock animals were killed by a wolf or wolves in central New Mexico over the last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service killed an endangered Mexican gray wolf last week.
The agency is allowed to intentionally kill the endangered wolves within the experimental population area, which straddles Arizona and New Mexico. Wildlife advocates are critical of the decision, calling it infuriating and counterproductive, while one Catron County rancher thinks it was the right decision made too late.
