On December 2, 2011 Arizona Fish and Game commission released official documents, which would mandate wolf proliferation across the Southern Rockies and into Texas. The documents have been confirmed by several sources, including a regional director for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service testifying at Friday’s Arizona Fish and Game Commission hearing.

Despite denials by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding these plans, these plans are moving forward. This official “draft” was released for official comment by members of the wolf recovery team in the last couple of weeks. In the wake of criticism by western states, USFWS’ national director accused states of “mischaracterizing” the Southern Rockies wolf plans. These leaked documents confirm that the criticism of these plans by western states were well founded. It is apparent that USFWS is moving to dramatic increases in wolves across the entire Southern Rockies and into Texas.
These plans are dangerous. These plans do not protect wildlife. These plans do not protect livestock. These plans would violate well-established limitations on federal authority. These plans are based on a dramatic overreaching.
