Conservation Groups Condemn Removal of Mexican Gray Wolves from SE Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz. – Conservation groups today condemned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s decision to remove two Mexican gray wolves, known as Llave and Wonder, and their two new puppies from their den site in
southeastern Arizona. These wolves were removed following months of inflated depredation reporting, anti-wolf fear mongering, and very few efforts by livestock ranchers to coexist with these native endangered species.
