Southwest ranchers have been suffering the impacts of a poorly managed wolf recovery program, for nearly 26 years. When begun the Mexican wolf reintroduction program made commitments to ranchers that they would mitigate and mange wolves that destroyed cattle. Those commitments were strategically revoked over time using the legal system often with sue and settle tactics and friendly lawsuits with NGOs who are anti ranching. Our small family ranches cannot take these losses with no ability to protect our animals and our ranches and our communities.
We would like to send a delegation of wolf impacted knowledgeable representatives to Washington DC to help get this disastrous into ranching program back into line with our civil and constitutional rights. Most of us with wolf kills and wolf presence have difficulty paying for yet another requirement. Many of us remain unreimbursed for kills and mitigation we have had to finance.
If you would like to support this effort, we would sure appreciate it.

Our founding fathers established the constitution for the American Dream of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". The intent was not to be singled out for a loss of private property in the takings of that property by wolf kills. It was designed to protect it citizens, not fora loss of property and mental anguish by the protection of an apex killer. Good Luck.
Always broke. Wish I could afford more. We have been continuously lied to for over 30 years. Financial losses to the livestock industry and big game hunting have been greatly underestimated. Wolves are not and never have been endangered. This all amounts to a land grab displacing rural peoples.
Sincere thank you for advocating for ranching. Praying for a safe and successful trip.
Praying for a safe trip and positive outcome
This is a great cause Our grandparents worked hard to get rid of these cattle killers Why in the world did anyone think it was good to bring them back!?
Good luck!
As ranchers on the Western Slope of Colorado and being forced to “adapt” to the uneducated voters of Colorado “reintroducing” wolves, we fully support your efforts for a voice in DC! Thank you for your hard work!
