In one of the great conservation accomplishments of the 20th century, the “lobo” was reintroduced to New Mexico and Arizona in 1998 after being driven to extinction in the wild during the early part of the last century.
These captive-bred wolves and their wild offspring have done well -- forming packs, hunting elk, pairing up and having pups. Left alone, these wolves thrive. Unfortunately, they’ve struggled against local opposition, illegal killing and mismanagement.
Just 59 southwest wolves now remain, and some in Congress want to end federal efforts to save them.
An amendment expected to be offered tomorrow by Representative Steve Pearce (NM) would eliminate funding for the southwest wolf reintroduction program -- completely ending the program and dooming the wolves to extinction.
In preparation for the vote, Pearce and his anti-wolf allies have even stooped to spreading misinformation about the southwest wolf recovery program, circulating factually inaccurate reports of wolf attacks. At a recent hearing on the Endangered Species Act, Pearce even made the outrageous statement that “Nothing is more attractive to a wolf than the sound of a crying baby.”
For the record, there is not one documented case of a healthy, wild wolf killing a human in the United States. In fact, you are more likely to be killed by a meteorite than a wild wolf.
Southwest wolves can’t write Congress, but you can.
Help us counter the lies. Take action right now to save Southwest wolves.
THERE IS ONLY 24 HOURS LEFT BEFOR CONGRESS VOTES!!!!!PLZ I BEG OF YOU HELP!!!!

I Am a Wolf
Sloane Jensen / Loveland, Colorado / Age 16
I am a wolf,
running through the trees.
Following the scents,
on the midnight breeze.
I am a wolf,
howling beneath a silver moon.
Hoping that my loyal pack,
will answer back quite soon.
I am a wolf,
standing with my beautiful mate.
We must stand strong and brave,
and face any challenges we meet.
I am a wolf,
Hunting with my pack.
With the young and the old wolves waiting,
for meat to be brought back.
I am a wolf,
and I must kill to survive.
But isn't that something we all must do,
in order to stay alive?
I am a wolf,
withstanding man's fear and hate.
But many have come to love wolves,
and for us that's quite a treat.
I am a wolf,
wild, fierce and free.
Living in forests and mountains,
stretching as far as the eye can see.
I am a wolf,
I'd never want to be anything more.
And I hope that even after I'm gone,
there will be wolves forevermore.
that poem is perfect for this post! I hope u all liked the pics and the poem. LOVE Y'ALL!!!
