Received from a friend | Mexican Gray Wolves

Please do not allow your children to watch this video sent to us by the Gila Livestock Growers Association. This is the sixth attack on the same ranch by the same pack, and the NMF&G refuses to remove the pack. Usually, you see photos of the already dead. This film will show you that wolves do not kill outright. They eat their victims alive. This video is graphic, but it gets the point across. Next time you see a photo of an animal “killed” by Mexican Gray wolves; remind yourself that this is how the animal actually died.

Maybe now some of you will understand why we have built “cages” for our children to wait for the school bus in the morning, and to wait for Mom or Dad in the evening. Many of the children have been prey tested and stalked from the bus stops. Wolves show up at the bus stops because they have come to understand that big yellow bus means “dinner.”

High pitched voices of small children excite wolves the same way the high pitched cries of a wounded animal attracts wolves.

Please help us in our cause to fight this unconstitutional program. Visit our website at www.amprowest.org and make a donation or become a member.

Video of attack number 6 by the Middle Fork pack. There are currently 8 confirmed kills placed on the adult wolves. Federal Wildlife Service is making out that only the adults are involved in killing cattle. There were pup bites on the yearling in the video, so clearly the pups are involved in the kills as well. We are getting the usual run around from FWS and New Mexico Game and Fish are still insisting on leaving these animals on the ground regardless of the damage they are doing and the damage to their pups training them to subsist on livestock. At last report the wolves were moving a little bit west onto the O Bar O Ranch, whether they will stay there and kill livestock remains to be seen. Please say a prayer for your Gila ranching neighbors, it is pretty rough to take week after week. Laura
