I tried to post earlier but apparently it did not take.
Ladies and gents we are facing a problem in this state. One that affects the area I now live and will eventually affect the entire state.
After sitting in a meeting with ranchers, biologists, state elected officials etc I have learned that the enviro groups along with the USFWS want to have in Arizona 750-1000 wolves. Not in just the area that they have been released up to now, but the areas include the north Kaibab plateau. State biologists have stated that this amount of wolves in Arizona will decimate our ungulate herds.
Now I say these things becuase alot of you read this and are members of various conservation groups. I love this state, its wild resources. If we continue to have things like the wolf, spotted owl, leaopard frog/toad pushed down our throats, we will lose these very things we love so much. I urge you to gather your groups up and meet with other groups like the cattlemans association, the various tribes because they are involved as well and not liking it. All of these groups better come together and meet. Put the heads together and come up with a way to fight back. Im not talking about just hunting and cows but the very existence of rural AZ communities, which rely on livestock and sportsman for a good chunk of their economy.
I have been vocal in a way but im one voice in a very large room where nobody is listening.
