Ranchers request relief from Mexican wolf in Cochise County [Arizona]
From KOLD.com:
A program to reintroduce Mexican wolves to the wild started almost 30 years ago and has been successful for the endangered species. But some of the wolves are creating problems for ranchers who want changes to its status.
Ranchers in southeast Arizona will tell you they’re dealing with the success of the Mexican wolf program’s increasing numbers and say it’s time for a change and have brought it up with Cochise County Supervisors. “Every cow that I lose hurts my bottom line. Immensely,” said Cochise County rancher Mike Wear, who owns the 18 square-mile Wear Ranch south of Willcox.
