BISBEE, Ariz. (KVOA) – Cochise County has adopted a resolution opposing the current implementation of the Mexican Gray Wolf reintroduction program.<\/p>\n
The resolution passed unanimously with a 3-0 vote on Tuesday and calls for reforms to the program, mainly that ranchers be fully compensated when their livestock is killed by wolves.<\/p>\n
The board is also supporting the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Range Rider Program, which allows rangers to chase off wolves who are too close to cattle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This past May, Cochise County residents and ranchers gathered for a meeting at City Hall in Bisbee to voice their concerns over the Mexican Gray Wolf population in the area and the impact they were having on livestock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the Mexican Gray Wolf used to be abundant in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. But it was nearly gone by the 1970’s. A reintroduction program was started in 1998.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BISBEE, Ariz.
