Catron County Emergency Declaraion Mexican Wolf Part 2
Rancher in Blue AZ, are moving their calving cattle to a pasture that can be guarded better. They will have to feed them there even though they have feed in their more remote pastures. 5 wolf packs are demolishing their calf crop. It’s not only financially horrible, it’s a reprehensible way to force people on a century old ranch to live. Torturing their cattle to grow wolf packs and more survivable litters. Thankfully some volunteer help showed up to find the smaller and wounded calves and help move the cattle.
Yesterday and Today: She died after midnight. WS is on their way, so let’s wait for confirmation. picked up the Bear Canyon AM RIGHT THERE yesterday and WS said he was in that canyon yesterday.
head punctured with one bite, left struggling to live so soon after being born. This was calf 1.
Calf 2 is alive, the same head bite not as severe, one AM Mexican wolf just biting the heads of the tiniest calves on the ranch. This calf is swollen his skull has a puncture and he is being doctored. Whether he lives or not is up in the air. How long must he suffer doctoring his mother fed and potentially milked for his feedings. Nobody covers those costs or time. Nobody covers the anxiety and over worked ranchers checking checking checking over and over and trying to keep their cattle safe.
The family wants to ask for the wolf to be removed. They can’t lose every calf to a wolf that is just biting and leaving them. But USFWS has a new policy to grow the wolf population by allowing them to kill cattle.
The suffering of the little calves is not their concern, nor is the management of their wolf that is displaying abnormal behavior. They count collar and dump zoo pups in the den. What they do to us is not their concern.
This wolf needs to be gone, yesterday!
Coexistence is a PC word that is not real.
Listening to the ESA 10j hearing while trying to deal with this “non lethal” deterrent. Thank God for these dogs. And it is hardly non lethal. The gall of the agencies to suggest non lethal even exists.
This is just another uncollared wolf they did not count last month. This is just another uncollared wolf that is not on the 2024 year-end count. Two dogs and ongoing veterinary bills that are not paid for. Yes, they are trained LGD’s used to mitigate cow and calf kills and they did their job.
Our first confirmed wolf kill this year. Poor little thing.
EDITED to add: for those of you who don’t know, this is a FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAM. Of course we do experience the occasional loss due to depredation, but we’re allowed to mitigate this. Wolf depredation remains unchecked because of federal law. The small $ compensation we might receive if we’re lucky enough to find the kill and have it confirmed doesn’t come close to what we livestock producers are actually losing.
This is in your backyard, New Mexico.
The federal government is using beef that we all should be eating to feed fake, inbred “wolves”.
After spending a couple weeks trying to heal up this cow, wolves pulled her calf out of her while she was in labor, they ate parts of her anatomy as well. She survived the initial injuries, but it isn’t a good prognosis and likely she will have to be put down. Weeks of investment and humane care down the drain.
Freshly relocated Mexican wolf slams NM Ranch with a Double killing. Eating only the udders of grown pregnant cows. The black cow was in labor, she was fought by the wolf bitten on the nose and legs went down and while she died of shock, he ate her udder and pulled her calf. The red cow was heavy bred and on the edge of a rough stretch of terrain, he worried her off the side and the fell while he bit her face and legs and the rolled down, while she died of shock he ate her udder. The agency claims they re-released him because he was mated up with his full sister in Arizona. Not because of the two confirmed kills he was involved in in 2024, science says there’s usually 7 more per confirmed.
It is suspected that he was tranquilized, due to being close to Silver City NM then moved by vehicle up to the region he was occupying the week a day’s walk from this small family ranch.
The agency implied he had bad teeth. But did not choose to keep him in captivity. No Mexican wolf has been removed for stock killing since a 2021 between the agency and the NGO’s.
Ranchers be dammed.
1-2-25 to 2-2025 Before the three strikes rule was revoked ranchers could have this wolf or wolves removed.
Often when a calf is small and not found within 24 hours this is all that is left. Ranchers are bearing the cost of this program’s success. Our cattle are being taken for their prey base.
There is nothing co-existing or non-lethal about this.
This poor mama cow was set upon by wolves last night. She was either in labor or close to calving, whether she will survive or not, depends on how badly she was injured when they exhausted her until she went down then pulled the calf from her.
Historic Slash Ranch New Mexico, first known wolf attack of the year. This is an example of non-lethal, coexistence management. It is a take of private property, and the cattle suffer immense cruelty, pain and terror. This has to be stopped.
to exist together in the same place or at the same time, especially in a peaceful way
The illness frequently coexists with other chronic diseases.
Hmm thats a well behaved wolf there next to that stylish cowboy.
The delusions of wolf lovers.
