Four endangered Mexican wolves caught in traps in New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE – Defenders of Wildlife has learned that four more Mexican gray wolves were trapped in New Mexico on land managed by the U.S. Forest Service over the last two months. The four endangered wolves included a breeding-age female that died and a male that was taken into captivity only to have his injured leg amputated. These two wolves are from the Prieto Pack.

According to USFWS information, at least 42 Mexican gray wolves have been caught in traps since 2003, just four in Arizona and the remainder all in New Mexico. At last count in January 2017, [ONLY] 114 Mexican gray wolves roamed the wild in Arizona and New Mexico. Those wolves are the result of a reintroduction program that began in 1998 with the releases of family groups of well-bonded male and female pairs and their pups.
