The Cochise County Board of Supervisors in Arizona adopted on July 22 Resolution 25-21, which opposes the current implementation of the Mexican gray wolf reintroduction program.
“This resolution reflects opposition to the way this program was rolled out and it reflects that we’re asking that the ranchers be duly compensated for their loss; their actual loss, not 75% of the value,” said Board Chair Frank Antenori.
The resolution adoption follows the board’s support a week earlier of the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Range Rider Program, which sends range riders into areas where wolves and cattle are in proximity and chase wolves from the area.
