Alpha Male Lobos are being Hunted and Killed in Southwest
I have been following the news on the rare Mexican wolves, and have terrible news from the Southwest. Two Alpha male lobos have been ruthlessly stalked and killed, seriously endangering the packs of the rarest wolves in the world. Another Alpha male is missing. With these Alpha’s gone, the fate of the entire population of the wild lobos hangs in the balance.
At last count earlier this spring, there were only 42 lobos left in the wild. At least half of the packs that bred last year have lost their alpha males. These latest killings couldn’t come at a worse time, and we need to step it up in order to save the remaining lobos from certain extinction.
Alpha males are crucial to the survival of the pack. They provide leadership and food for the entire family, including pups born just months ago. Without the alphas, the fatherless pups of at least two packs of these rare animals are less likely to survive… putting lobos ever closer to a second extinction in the wild.

Much gratitude and thanks to those dedicated to preserving the wildlife on this planet. We have much to be held accountable for, yet we give so much in the way of stewardship of this great and beautiful Earth. The balance can, and will be restored if we can remain dilligent in the care of those who cannot defend themselves in this time of need.

I wish to do my best to express how wonderful it feels to hear good news in the fight to save our Wolf brothers and sisters. I truly felt despair for the future of these beautiful and noble creatures when I heard about the opening up of Wolf hunting after so much hard work to keep the protections from being lifted. We are by no means out of the danger zone in this fight to save the Wolves, yet this small victory gives us heart to know we may not be fighting a losing battle. There are those who have little or no love for Wolves, and they are ready to fight for their desires to kill every Wolf for their own purposes. For those fighting to give Wolves their natural right to live wild and free, as intended by the Creator of this Earth, I wish to share some really great news I recieved from
For the Wild Ones,
Let’s take a few moments to check in and see how we are doing in our fight to save
