Steve Pearce (NM) would eliminate funding for the southwest wolf reintroduction program

An amendment expected to be offered tomorrow by Representative Steve Pearce (NM) would eliminate funding for the southwest wolf reintroduction program — completely ending the program and dooming the wolves to extinction.

In preparation for the vote, Pearce and his anti-wolf allies have even stooped to spreading misinformation about the southwest wolf recovery program, circulating factually inaccurate reports of wolf attacks. At a recent hearing on the Endangered Species Act, Pearce even made the outrageous statement that “Nothing is more attractive to a wolf than the sound of a crying baby.”

For the record, there is not one documented case of a healthy, wild wolf killing a human in the United States. In fact, you are more likely to be killed by a meteorite than a wild wolf.

Please call Representative Pearce in Washington DC: (202) 225-2365. Take action right now to save Southwest wolves.

Please take just a few moments right now to help save this beautiful symbol of the American Southwest. [from nmwild.org]

  1. Wolves are one of God’s better creations. They are family oriented – they waste nothing they kill – and, really, we humans could take some lessons from them. I have read numerous non-fiction books regarding these animals, and to try to exterminate them is not only criminal, it is unnecessary.

  2. Bringing back wolves under the endangered species act is a joke. If the act is as important to people as all of you wolf lovers beleive, then you would be fighting just as hard to bring back smallpox. It is an endagered species just like the wolf, or is that already on your ageanda?

  3. Smallpox. You don’t really believe anyone wants to bring back smallpox, do you. You’re just ridiculing something you don’t agree with. Let me ask you, Rick: Do you wish the polar bears were gone? Do you look forward to the end of the tigers? Do you want a world with nothing but domesticated animals and deer? peace, mjh
