Feds Say 9 Mexican Gray Wolves Have Died in the Wild This Year


Associated Press
      The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says nine Mexican gray wolves have died in the wild so far this year, including three females that were illegally shot.
    The agency says it is awaiting results of a necropsy on one wolf
    Penalties for killing a Mexican gray wolf include fines of up to $75,000 and up to a year in jail.
    Mexican gray wolves disappeared from the Southwest during the past century because of federal eradication efforts. Fish and Wildlife reintroduced 11 wolves into the recovery area in 1998.
    The area includes 4.4 million acres of the Gila and Apache Sitgreaves national forests in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona plus Arizona's 1.6 million-acre White Mountain Apache reservation. The area is interspersed with private land and towns.
