AZ: Mohave County board opposes bigger wolves area

The Associated Press

KINGMAN, Ariz.—Mohave County is on record as saying Mexican gray wolves aren’t welcome in the northwestern Arizona county.

The Kingman Daily Miner ( http://bit.ly/1epSnXT) reports that a resolution approved unanimously Monday by the Board of Supervisors says the wolves aren’t welcome unless they’ve been vaccinated, have a dog license and have been spayed or neutered.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is studying the possibility of expanding the range that Mexican gray wolves could roam in Arizona and New Mexico.

Some livestock owners and hunting guides oppose any expansion, saying the wolves would endanger their livelihoods by killing cattle and wild game.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Mexican Wolf Recovery Coordinator Sherry Barrett says spaying or neutering the animals would defeat the project’s purpose. She says wolves are vaccinated before being released.
