The Public Lands Council and the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association announced support for the Enhancing Safety for Animals Act. The legislation would delist the Mexican gray wolf and separate the populations in the U.S. and Mexico, allowing for proper management of the species. “Now is the time to recognize the catastrophic impact that bad federal policy has on local communities,” said PLC Executive Director Kaitlynn Glover. “For too long, ranchers in states near our southern border have shouldered the burden of managing this species with limited tools and little support from the federal government that’s imposed all manner of burdens.” The organizations point out that the Fish and Wildlife Service has been recovering the Mexican wolf for more than 25 years. ”Despite what it reports, the wolf is recovered numerically and genetically,” said New Mexico Cattle Growers Association President-Elect Tom Paterson. “It’s time to delist the Mexican gray wolf.”
