The first wolves were released under cover of darkness.

“It had to be a secret,” Rascσn said. No one else in the area wanted these wolves.

In November 2011, Mexican officials found the carcass of a Mexican gray wolf near a ranch in Sonora, poisoned and left to die.

A few weeks later, in December, officials found three more dead wolves, all poisoned, their skin showing similar lesions.

Wolves are being seen here in Arizona. So I know they can survive.

The first wolves that the USFWS put in as the "endangered" Mexican wolves were bred up using dog, in fact some of those dog/wolf hybrids had to be put down because of too much dog. That info. is posted here on H-W, probably in 2009.

Who knows what additional wolves have been thrown into the mix and called Mexican wolves. I trust the USFWS as much as I trust WDF&Wolves. Zero
