3 I am writing to comment on the proposed rule changes that will determine the Mexican gray wolves future--or not. The rule update is long overdue, but should not include "poison-pill" provisions to sbotage their recovery. Scientists have made many recommendations you have failed to act on, starting in They warned then if recommendations were not followed the wolf population would suffer. The wolves have important and far reaching impacts on the ecosystem in their surroundings. They affect grazing, plant life and other animal life in their area. Rules need updating to protect and help the wolf population thrive. They are at half of what the EIS projected. It's time to step up and do the job right. It is Fish and Wildlife, not Big Business and Ranchers. Ten years is too long to put this off. Jan Roberts 804 E Clubhouse Queen Creek, AZ 85242

7 I strongly support the reintroduction program. We have already seen the positive affects of wolf reintroduction in the Yellowstone ecosystem and it is reasonable to expect there to be ecological benefits here in the southwest. In a time when so many factors are negatively impacting our wildlands, we really should support programs that make positive contributions to ecosystem health. Thank you for your efforts!

9 These top predators are a critical part of proper ecosystem function, and their extirpation has had cascading effects throughout multiple trophic levels. In my opinion the return of wolves to Arizona and New Mexico will benefit wildlife, promote ecosystem health, and provide the human communities with an important part of our lost legacy.

11 To Whom it May Concern: I am writing regarding the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Act (BRWRA) because I am concerned that the number of wolves who are successfully surviving within the designated area appear to be going down rather than stabilizing or growing. I believe that wolves are an integral part of the wildlife chain and wolf populations need not only protection but encouragement to grow. The system as currently designed has several flaws that prevent that from happening: The classification of BRWRA wolves as "experimental, non-essential" must be amended to "experimental, essential (or endangered") in order for this program to succeed to its full potential. Like other valued natural entities -- air, water, bison, bald eagles -- wolves do not understand human created political boundaries. Rather, they follow instinctual beckonings, moving into areas that promise better food resources, habitat, or mating and territorial possibilities. Trying to restrict wolf movement to "approved" areas shows little understanding of how Nature and its denizens function. Wolves require large territories for healthy populations to survive or thrive. Please consider removing restrictions to wolf dispersal and movement. Healthy wildlife populations seldom occur without access to other populations outside their own range. Releasing Gray Wolves in areas outside the BRWRA will provide opportunities for more robust genetic opportunities for the struggling Gray Wolf populations and decrease the possibility of inbred disease, etc. Please consider releasing Gray Wolves in New Mexico to encourage strengthening of the species. Killing wolves while promoting their return doesn't make sense. How can wolves hope to thrive if we keep reducing the number of wolves available for breeding? This is senseless and has to stop. Likewise, putting a cap on the total number of wolves makes no sense for the same reasons. Make ranchers responsible for cleaning up carcasses of their cattle that have died as the result of disease, starvation, or injury. Leaving dead cattle lie on public land only encourages wolves to "get a taste for" beef and jeopardizes healthy cattle and their young. Opportunistic scavenging

12 wolves eat what's available. Ranchers' practices of leaving dead cattle lie only encourages such scavenging. Lastly, please consider leaving options open for future recovery strategies. Wolf recovery is like a living document and needs to remain flexible in order to make the best of this rare opportunity to bring a valuable endangered species back to full recovery. Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns and opinions. Sincerely, Carole Piszczek-Sheffield PO Box 4388 Sedona, AZ (928) cpiszczek@msn.com

16 Dear Mr. Millsap, Please consider these comments for Mexican Gray Wolf NEPA Scoping. I will be attending tonite's meeting in Flagstaff, AZ, but prefer to submit my comments via . I am a wildlife biologist with extensive experience working with endangered mammals, and would like to see the following in relation to the Mexican Gray Wolf reintroduction project: 1. An updated recovery plan, with very specific objectives regarding number of wolves defining recovery, and no maximum number. 2. A change in wolf status to "endangered", or "experimental, essential". 3. Expansion of acceptable wolf boundary, as well as increased area for initial releases. 4. Non-lethal resolution of wolf-livestock conflicts, in a way that adequately compensates livestock owners. 5. Decreased "take" of wolves. and 6. Increased emphasis on genetic diversity of wolf population. Thank you for your consideration, Dr. Faith Walker 2700 Woodlands Village Blvd. Ste Flagstaff, AZ 86001

18 Dear Mr. Millsap, I would like to express my thoughts on the Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery program. I am a strong advocate for the reintroduction of the Mexican Gray Wolf into its former habitat. The issues I saw on the website seem to revolve around a few main concerns. 1) Range: The wolves seem to do alright when they are not shot by poachers. Therefore, I would like to see them reintroduced in other parts of the Experimental Population Area Boundary, initially near the existing packs. Perhaps reintroductions could be done over time in concentric circles farther and farther from the BRWRA, with the eventual goal of the wolves occupying as much of the Experimental Population Area Boundary as natural prey and available land allows. Based on the historic range, they could either be reintroduced or migrate to other areas north of I-40 and south of I-10 if prey is available-north of Flagstaff and north of Santa Fe, into the mountains of Northern NM. 2) Pet Attacks by Wolves: I don't believe wolves that have attacked pets should be removed. People need to keep their pets close by, not wandering wherever they please. 3) Livestock Attacks by Wolves: These wolves should be removed if they are repeat offenders. Preferably not shot, but captured. In closing-please greatly increase the allowable range/reintroductions and maintain protection for the Mexican Gray Wolf so that they can reoccupy as much of their former habitat as prey and available land allow. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. -James Graham James Graham S. 47th Street Phoenix, AZ 85044

20 Mexican gray wolves are critical to our natural environment. A healthy wolf population will keep our elk and deer herds healthy and bring balance back to our wildlands. Please correct the mistakes of the past and ensure a bright future for wolf recovery. While reintroduced wolves have thrived in the Northern Rockies - now numbering over 1,500 - the Mexican gray wolf population remains dangerously low, with only about 60 wolves in an area twice the size of Yellowstone. The difference is in the rules governing the program. Because of these rules, 11 wolves have been shot by the government, 20 more died inadvertently because of capture, and at least 24 have been trapped and permanently removed from the wild since the reintroduction began. Northern Rockieswolves are allowed to expand their territory. Mexican gray wolves are confined to the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area, which includes the GilaNational Forestin New Mexicoand the bordering Apache National Forestin Arizona. But with good habitat outside of these areas, wolves often cross the political lines in search off new homes and prey. When they choose to live outside the boundaries they are captured and returned to the Blue range. This thwarts expansion of the population, disrupts packs, and sometimes causes serious injury to individual wolves. Current rules do not require ranchers using public lands to remove or render inedible (as by lime, for example) the carcasses of livestock that die for a number of non-wolf related reasons like disease and starvation. Wolves are attracted to and often scavenge on these carcasses, and then begin to prey on live cattle or horses nearby. After three livestock kills in a year, the wolf is either killed or placed in captivity. The gray wolf reintroduction rule for the northern Rocky Mountains in YellowstoneNational Parkand central Idahorequired ranchers to remove such attractants and specified that wolves that prey on stock near to where they were drawn by carcasses would not be controlled. But the Mexican wolf never received this protection. Please change the rule to save the wolves. Richard A. Calabro 3055 S. Placita Del Avestruz Green Valley, AZ Tel Fax r.a.calabro@att.net

22 WOLVES BELONG IN ARIZONA! As a concerned citizen of Arizona for the past 24 years, I'm writing to urge Fish and Wildlife to correct the mistakes of the past and ensure Mexican gray wolves continue to be protected. Science has shown FOR YEARS that top predator health in any wildlife eco-system ENSURES the health of that eco-system. Don't cave to irrational myths and fears or that have taken over the government during the special interest groups Bush administration. Please do the responsible thing for wildlife. for wolf recovery in Arizona. Ensure a bright future Respectfully, Donna L. Steele 1524 N. Sunset Drive Flagstaff, AZ

26 Dear Mr. Millsap, I urge you to correct past mistakes in the wolf recovery program, and ensure that the Mexican Grey wolf is properly reintroduced to it s native New Mexico. Our ecosystem is not complete without the wolf. We need wolves look at the improvement of Yellowstone since wolves were successfully re-introduced there. The same will happen here in New Mexico. I understand the concerns of the few ranchers involved. Let s help them protect their animals or give them other assistance they need. But the wolf must return for everyone s sake.

30 The more we humans interfere with the balance of nature, the worse it gets. We have our agendas - we need to graze our livestock, we "need" to have animals to hunt, etc. But the bottom line is that wolves, like every other living creature, are a part of the bigger picture and like it or not, they are a vital part of the ecosystem in which we all need to live. Why can't we all coexist harmoniously and respectfully share this beautiful space we call home? Sincerely, Deborah Dobson 4023 E. Comanche Drive Cottonwood, AZ 86326
