Albuquerque judge temporarily halts wolf releases
http://www.abqjournal.com/789815/abq-judge-temporarily-halts-wolf-releases.html"Federal wildlife officials planned the release to improve the genetic makeup of the wolf population, which they say has declined over the past year and whose viability is weakened by inbreeding. They did so after revising a federal rule on endangered species after taking public comment and preparing an environmental impact statement."
"But state game officials have said the federal actions interfere with their ability to manage the state wildlife population, particularly with regard to elk, deer and antelope. Wolves must be closely managed because predator-prey relationships have ripple effects within ecosystems, the state has argued."

Imagine that, state game agencies that actually care about ungulates………..Not all biologists got the same schooling as WDFW's biologist did.
