One of the rarest in the world - a Southwest Mexican wolf (also known as a "lobo") who scientists gave the designation of "F836" - has been added to the list of wolves that have been caught in the crossfire, literally, of the wolf debate.
The Lobo bearing the ID of F836 had been raised in South Salem at the New York’s Wolf Conservation Center and then released into her native habitat in Arizona late last year.
However, in sad news, a poacher killed her just two months after her release into the wild and then dumped this poor Southwest Mexican wolf (as though she were garbage) along a road near Pinetop, Arizona. While this story is very sad, there is more tragedy ahead for the others just like her if wolves don't get the treatment and protection that they deserve.
We must take steps to fight lawless wolf haters and killers such as the one who has senselessly and shamelessly killed this lobo. Action must be funded in the courts to put an end to mismanagement of the lobo recovery program and support effective on-the-ground education, organization and conservation efforts to save lobos like F836, not to mention other endangered animals.
Lobos like F836 are the most endangered wolves in the world. In fact, they are so endangered that only 52 lobos -- with only two breeding pairs of these Southwest wolves -- now exist in the wild.
According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, illegal shooting was the leading cause of documented loss of lobos in 2008.
It is time to start going after hateful, lawless wolf killers!
We all know that there is a better way to manage wolves in the southwest. Recently, progress was made by an important initial legal victory to return wolf management responsibilities to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and to end the controversial “three-strikes” rule that has led to the unwarranted killing and removal of lobos from their natural habitat in the wild.
Only 52 lobos remain in the wild, and the fight to save these rare and deserving wolves from extinction will be an uphill battle, but it needs to be done because there aren't many left.
Your compassionate contribution to Defenders of Wildlife will help pay for rewards to bring the killer of wolf F836 to justice and will assist in the prosecution of the criminals who kill endangered wolves.
Time is of the essence. Please Save The Wolves Now!

What Is Sarah Palin Doing To Wolves?
Have you heard the latest news? What is the deal with Sarah Palin and wolves?
Just last week, 84 wolves were killed by means of aerial hunting, AND now, Governor Palin is "gunning" for the ability to drop poison gas into the wolf dens where wolf pups live. In fact, Palin’s Board of Game has already approved the use of poison gas and deadly snares to kill defenseless wolf pups and their families in and around their dens.
Why the hatred, Sarah Palin?
It is time for us to come forward in a big way. For the first time ever, I am asking everyone reading this who cares about wolves to pick up the telephone and call Governor Palin's Office to express your objections to her slaughter of wolves. Obviously, Sarah Palin does not have her direct line posted on her website; however, she does have a Communications Director by the name of Bill McAllister, and he can be reached by phone at 907-269-7450.
Then, I want you to send Governor Palin an email.
Finally, I would like to see you print off your email in letter form and then fax it to 907-269-7461. Her website does indicate that fax communications are preferred so don't pass up the opportunity to give her what she wants.
And one last thing, please support Defenders of Wildlife as they need the funds to run their most recent ad concerning wolf pups so that people can be informed concerning Sarah Palin's true nature. Defenders of Wildlife is also in need of funds for continued legal proceedings being handled by Earthjustice on behalf of wolves everywhere.
Please also feel free to print off the Defenders of Wildlife ad and post everywhere you can.
The presidential race is over; however, the race to save wolves is ON! We all need to take a collective deep breath and reaffirm our commitment to see the wolves and their pups running wild and free - - and safe under protections of the Endangered Species Act.
Please do all that you can and do it today and everyday to Save The Wolves Now!
