Thank
you for the May 9th article about captive breeding of Mexican gray
wolves. As a local business owner, I am aware of the economic benefits
wolves can bring. Around $36 million was generated each year by the
reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone. Add to this the significant
ecological benefits of reintroducing wolves, and we have some excellent
reasons to want the Mexican wolf reintroduction to succeed in Arizona.
Which
means it's high time that Arizona Game and Fish stopped throwing up
obstacles and that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service start doing its
job to recover el lobo, starting with releasing more wolves from captivity into the wild, which is where wild animals belong.
