PHOENIX (CN) — For three decades, the Mexican gray wolf has slowly progressed from the brink of extinction to nearing the criteria to be downlisted to “threatened.” Now, a resolution in the Arizona Legislature seeks to cut that progress short and demote the state’s less than 150 wolves to protect its more than 980,000 cattle.
House Concurrent Resolution 2011, which on Tuesday received a “do pass” recommendation from the Arizona Senate’s Committee on Natural Resources, urges Congress to remove the Mexican wolf from the endangered species list and defund the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan to turn management of the species over to state and local agencies.
