THE NUMBER OF MEXICAN GRAY WOLVES ROAMING THE FORESTS OF NEW MEXICO WON’T BE CHANGING. THE U-S FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE WANTED TO RELEASE MORE OF THE ANIMALS BUT WAS DENIED A PERMIT TO DO SO ON TUESDAY BY THE STATE GAME COMMISSION.
ADVOCATES FOR THE WOLVES SAY THE RELEASE WAS NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE WOLF POPULATION. TUESDAY’S ACTION BY THE GAME COMMISSION UPHELD A PREVIOUS DECISION MADE BY THE STATE GAME AND FISH DIRECTOR.
