The wolf reintroduction program is trying to get wolves to live and thrive in the perimeter of Yellowstone National Park. In doing this they will accomplish finding the wolves a safe place to live and raise their family. This will balance the environments way of operating. Here in North Carolina, our red wolf recovery program is doing well, we now have around 115 living in the alligator river wildlife refuge in the eastern part of the state. The purpose of the program is to increase populations that have declined or disappeared because of over hunting. For many years the wolf has been thought of as the bane of ranchers and farmers but better understanding has reveled the wolf will not harm livestock when other food prey is available. When the wolf populations disappeared the rodent population went up. Rodents like mice, voles and rabbits do far more damage than wolves to farmers and are necessary to control these pests.

What is Mexican wolf problem?
The Mexican wolf problem is actually a people problem rather than an animal problem. Mexican wolves are a subspecies of gray wolf that have been chosen for protection under the US Endangered Species Act (ESA). Unfortunately, the ESA has been used as a political weapon rather than an environmental tool, and the Mexican wolf issue is a case in point.The Mexican wolf reintroduction program has from its inception failed to take into account a number of critical issues which bear directly on the program's capacity for success. The points below may be verified with just a little research at the Mexican wolf program's own website - the program does not seek to hide this information, just doesn't make it very public, and doesn't incorporate these points in its management of the wolves.The area chosen for "reintroduction" in the United States was in fact never native denning habitat or prime hunting territory for the Mexican wolf;The program has not taken into account the humans who live and work in the "reintroduction" area;All wolves in the program descend from just a few (under 5) wolves; no research has been published to demonstrate that it is even possible to rebuild a viable subspecies from such a limited gene pool; andAlmost all Mexican wolves are not actually wild, but are feral. They do not act like normal wild wolves. Almost all of the wolves are either captured or raised from conception in zoos and refuges. They are hand-fed in captivity (never learning to hunt) and routinely handled by humans (veterinary care including regular vaccinations, frequently transported from zoo to zoo and refuge to refuge, collars put on and batteries regularly changed). Perhaps worst of all, the wolves rarely are allowed the full pack experience; they do not get to choose their mates and go through the normal mating ritual (breeding matches are determined by the wolf program, not the wolves), young wolves are not taught to hunt by their parents or members of the packs they were born into since if born in the wild, many of the pups are removed from their mothers and raised in captivity.Wolves that do eventually get turned out into the wild have no idea how to act like normal, wild wolves. Several years of independently collected data demonstrates that Mexican wolves are attracted to human areas of activity, and naturally end up killing livestock and pets.Mexican wolves are not in danger of going extinct at this time, as there are hundreds of them living in captivity and that number could be increased at any time. However, Mexican wolves are not given a chance to live naturally, nor does the Mexican wolf program seem inclined to give them that chance. There is no way to know whether Mexican wolves could thrive on their own as a subspecies in a wild habitat that is native to them given the current management of this program. The Mexican wolf problem is thus entirely a human management problem.

Why did the Mexican wolf become endangered?
By the turn of the 20th century, reduction of natural prey like deer and elk caused many wolves to begin attacking domestic livestock, which led to intensive efforts by government agencies and individuals to eradicate the native gray wolf subspecies, the Mogollon wolf (also known as the Mogollon mountain wolf), from New Mexico and Arizona. Hunters also hunted down the wolf because it killed deer. Trappers and private trappers have also helped in the eradication of the Mogollon wolf. By the 1950s, the Mogollon wolf had been eliminated from the wild in New Mexico and Arizona. In 1976, the Mexican wolf, a gray wolf subspecies and an occasional hunter in the former Mogollon wolf denning territory, was declared an endangered subspecies and has remained so ever since. Because of the overlapping range, and because some biologists felt the Mogollon wolf was a "middle subspecies" between the Mexican wolf and the grey wolves farther north, the Mexican wolf, the Mogollon wolf and another subspecies, the Texas wolf, were all lumped together in one taxonomic group. In 1998 the Mexican wolf reintroduction program released Mexican wolves into the former denning territory of the Mogollon wolf. Today, an estimated 340 Mexican Wolves survive in 49 facilities at the United States and Mexico.
