    Association representing N.M.’s 33 counties votes against reintroduction. The New Mexico Association of Counties, which represents the state’s 33 counties, voted unanimously at their meeting in Elephant Butte earlier this month, to oppose the reintroduction of Mexican gray wolves into the state, the Farmington Daily Times reported today on its Web site.“These wolves were kicked out of Arizona,” San Juan County Commission Chairman Tony Atkinson told the Daily Times. “They’re not wild.”“The New Mexico Association of Counties shall oppose any rule or proposed rule related to the reintroduction of the Mexican gray wolf that does not provide the opportunity for continual involvement of New Mexico’s county elected officials in the decision-making process,” said the resolution passed on April 4.According to the Daily Times, county officials have repeatedly expressed their concerns about people’s safety, their own exclusion from the planning of management of federal programs under whose purview wolf regulation lies, inability to address problem wolf behavior and related livestock issues — including “insufficient compensation” to ranchers.Click here (pdf download)  to see the entire resolution.

      It is funny to me that the albuquerque journal reporters were just not interested in this story when it happened one month ago.

      But the second a Center For Biological Diversity press release pops into their email box they use it practically ver batim.

      Now a month later this giant story is getting an around New Mexico blip in the paper. wow

      Survey after survey says 75% of Americans don’t want wolves putting people out of business. The pro wolf side has lied, spin, and demonized hard working ranchers so they can collect millions form less then .5 % of the American populations. Seems to me this big lied about the wolf is coming to end. About time! Never should any predators have more rights then working families, terrorizing children, killing pets with full protection from the Federal Government. This is American and if we don’t stand up and say look predators are not more important then children we will lose this country and become peasants.

      I am sorry I missed the news when it broke. This is a big deal. It shows (once again) that county governments are the only elected bodies that are in touch with the citizens.

      Kudos to the New Mexico Association of Counties, and to Wolf Crossing for keeping the counties informed.
