With fewer than 40 Mexican wolves, excluding pups, still in the wild, it’s time for the Fish and Wildlife Service to re-release M1052, this week’s re-release candidate. A brother of our first three re-release candidates, M1052 was a tiny pup when removed from the Saddle pack den in 2007. He had no part in killing livestock and is eligible for release in New Mexico. FREE M1052!
You can help free M1052 from captivity by sending a very brief e-mail to FWS Region 2 Director Benjamin Tuggle. Simply copy and paste the message below into an email, and add a simple sentence or two of your own. Please add your name and address at the end, because anonymous letters get little attention. Remember, too, that polite requests are more effective.
Dear Dr. Tuggle,
I am alarmed at how few Mexican gray wolves remain in the wild and I know that there are wild-born wolves in captivity that are eligible for New Mexico releases. Please re-release former Saddle pup M1052 if he proves to be a suitable candidate for release. He has been in captivity long enough; it’s time for him to be a free, wild wolf again.
Thank you,
Send your e-mail to Director Benjamin Tuggle at RDTuggle@fws.gov.
Let him know you want M1052 to be a free, wild wolf again.
Thank you to “Lobos of the Southwest,” www.mexicanwolves.org for providing this information. Please visit their site to learn more about the struggling mexican wolves!
