In a separate incident a 14 year old camper was surrounded by three Mexican wolves while on a hunting trip with his father and family friends. Locations determined the wolves were likely members of the Luna pack. The incident lasted 5-10 minutes and the young man although armed and afraid for his life, chose to wait patiently while the wolves investigated him. Thankfully the incident ended with the wolves moving away, possibly due to the smell and presence of a rifle the young man was carrying. However, these incidents have underscored the need to protect rural children from escalating encounters with Mexican wolves.
This incident among others prompted the Catron County Commission to pass an emergency ordinance directed at protecting children and defenseless persons from mismanagement that is prevalent in the program and growing worse as power struggles become common within the adaptive management oversight committee overseeing the project and the ongoing development of the environmental impact statement that will eventually lead to program expansion.
In early December at the Glenwood elementary school a single wolf was seen on the playground after multiple reports of the animal localizing in the small town of Glenwood. This event prompted the

The agency insistence on leaving wolves in proximity to homes and human habitation is unfortunate these areas are not appropriate habitat and leads to habituation problems.
Children in the region deserve the luxury of outdoor play in their own yards without constant supervision to protect them from problem wolves. Their parents deserve appropriate management of animals that are in close proximity to their homes, bus stops and schoolyards.
Loren Cushman principal of Reserve schools says the shelters do double duty as wolf shelters and weather protection.
“We have one family near Luna who drives their kids to the bus stop then waits for the bus beucase they have seen wolves near the area too often to feel safe about their kids waiting for the bus.” Says Cushman, “I recently spent time in
Thanks for posting this, it’s great news although sad that it is necessary. Kids and people should come first, period!
This article and information on how to order the new DVD “Undue Burden, the Real Cost of Living with Wolves” by Bruce Hemming needs to go out by email or post to all the rural communities in the proposed expanded wolf territory - for public viewing.
This abominable wolf mismanagement and disregard for the safety and welfare of rural populations needs to be known to all who will be having these problems in the future.
USFW etc. presentations will cover-up and misinform to make this travesty seem palatable. This will be coming to a family home or schoolyard near them unless people wake up to their possible future and then do all they can to stop this farce of horrible mismanagement and disregard for the welfare and safety of the people in its tracks.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to develop a comprehensive contact list for our rural communities in Arizona and New Mexico?
I’ve placed info and a link on my site and one other and sent countless emails for Undue Burden, hoping it will spread. If I can help with the contact list Idea let me know, I’m not sure where to start though! Great idea Mary and it’s great to see that interest.
Our problem Mary and Erin, is that we are grass roots and very small scale and not professional web builders at all.
I have an email list of about 300 people most from pre wolfcrossing days, and I get about one addition request a month from someone who likes the website and wants to be added. That isn’t much considering how many folks actually look at the website. Maybe I should add a sign up for the email direct link.
Bruce is having the same problem with Undue Burden and Like Erin I have pushed it wherever I go. But we are small scale and very grass roots so we have no big money to support our issues and our work it is peicemeal and very dependent on volunteerism.
I will look into setting up a membership listing as soon as possible and getting somewhere with regular growth and activities. If you ladies think of something I haven’t please feel free to contribute ideas.
thanks
I meet a lot of people who are aware of what is happening and they do not like it yet they don’t seem to want to get involved either. I cover a lot of issues, Constitutional, political, 14th Amendment issues, which I will say is the big problem, that 14th. And then the wolf issue, the gun issue, on and on. Ive done this for 30 years, All I see is the Apathy is worse. It is a lot of hard work, Ive invested thousands into Globes, anals, records of Congress, ancient symbology, numerology, theology, Good grief, I could just go on and on, not too mention History, yet very few listen, and pay attention to the root of this problem. I will likely go dark again soon. We will not change this FWS and these practices until we are ready to face the root issues leading up to the issues we face today. I mean for crying out loud Gary Marbut just released an article explaining the Constitutional problems concerning FWS and Congress and those 9th and 10th Amendments concerning state versus Federal rights, and he was right on, if you lived in 1867. Until you folks are ready too open up, and really dig into this stuff, like i have done and others, you will remain 140 years behind in Constitutional arguments. Laura is sharp, somebody get her the Red Amendment PLEASE, 1-208-255-2301. It is time too listen too the so-called Conspiracy nut-jobs like me. Then we can maybe turn this thing around. Maybe. it is the 11th hour now after all. God, Mary McNabb, get this book, they might listen to you Mary, Me Im about done. Im gonna go kill wolves soon. Im done talkin.
It is ever thus that money talks and makes the world go ’round.
The best way for concerned folks to have a voice, to protect our human rights, to become better stewards of our environment, and to solve these crisis level problems is to contribute some coin.
Buy a copy of Undue Burden. Click the Donate button in righthand sidebar and send Wolf Crossing some money. The folks responsible for these great and needed educational efforts need your financial support.
It is expensive in time and money to make documentary films or to create and update websites like this one.
Be generous. The $ you donate you are really donating to yourself. You are the ultimate beneficiary.
We are winning. It may not seem like it, but we are. And it is efforts like Wolf Crossing that are making the difference by documenting and bringing critical issues like government-protected wolves in school yards to the attention of the Whole World.
The past is past. Today is today. The future is ours. Make a difference today in behalf of your future and your children’s future.
Give generously. That’s the ticket.

Wolves would never hurt or kill a human without a reason.This whole website is a lie,wolves are just curious and you think they are going to hurt someone?I dont think so.If you dont want them hunting your livestock then put up a fence that they cant get through.Its that simple.Hunting of wolves is absolutely wrong!They are endangered and they never did anything to humans.The only reason why they would attack is because of defence.Wolves were here first and you shouldn’t push them out of THEIR terrirtory.You humans have no right coming into their land.Its absolutely ridiculous how much you stress over a wolf coming into the city.They are just curious.They are not hurting anyone!Now get that though your thick skull!!!
For Kusaka: Where do you live? I bet it is not in Catron county.
