"The population grew by at least one, to 114 wolves in the wild throughout Arizona and New Mexico. There are 22 wolf packs in the two states."


"Although the 2017 gains were marginal, it remains the highest count since reintroducing captive wolves to the U.S. began in 1998. But while the gains were higher in recent years, the total population has only grown by four since 2014."


The USFWS taught WDF&Wolves how to count wolves..

few years back I got a bunch of eye rolls  and scoffs when I said one day our kids in NE WA and elsewhere in the state will be using wolf proof school bus shelters. 


We're closer to that now, and soon I will no longer be getting eye rolls and scoffs at such a preposterous notion. 

the wolves move to domestics, next thing you know your kids are waiting for the bus in cages.

LAS CRUCES— Catron County parents say they're just concerned about the safety of their children.
    Animal activists say it's an overreaction.
    Reserve Independent Schools is building wolf-proof shelters for school bus stops in southwest New Mexico, where the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reintroduced the Mexican gray wolf.

California – Americans for Prosperity calls for reform of the Endangered Species Act.

The Endangered Species Act has been transformed from a balanced conservation policy to an instrument used to pursue radical environmental agendas. Abuses of the Act have led to thousands of job losses, hundreds of terminated projects, and countless invasions of private property rights. State’s rights should not be infringed upon through the ESA’s broad applications of the Commerce Clause. In addition, plants and animals, not in danger of extinction, shouldn’t be granted rights that impede business, industry, and American prosperity.

Wolves Devastate Arizona's Animals and Economy, and Force Children into Cages

What a bunch of emotional hogwash! Wolf proof school bus cages? Evidently they weren't worried about cougars or bears, huh? Those animals actually kill children as do dogs quite regularly. Never heard of a wolf proof school bus stop in Alaska or Canada. Those New Mexican kids must be more tasty to wolves.

I don't know if you're married or have kids sitka-blacktail,  but you'd have to pretty solid in your beliefs to send your kids out to the bus in the dark after hearing wolves out side.

In the past 100 years maybe 5 people have been killed in North America by wolves. In the past 10 years more than 250 people have been killed by domestic dogs in America. There has been over 40 million dog bites and over 450,000 requiring emergency room care also in the last 10 years in America.

...and your worried about wolves hurting your kids because you hear one howl.

Makes perfect sense to me...

It's amazing any children are left in Alaskan villages with such a threat looming!

I've seen wolf tracks down here last year. Nobody knows what they look like here.

A pack in the Methow was finally confirmed in 2008 because it was hanging out at a school buss stop.

Just like the recent cougar attack, there will be people who don't pack that will wish they would have packed. Sad thing what WDF&Wolves are doing to the state of Washington using protected predators.
