Poll finds broad support for wolf reintroduction

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - There�s new a poll out on the 10-year-old federal program to release Mexican gray wolves in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona.

The poll, commissioned by wildlife groups and environmentalists, shows the endangered wolf has strong and broad-based support among voters in both states, according Brian Sanderoff, who heads the Albuquerque based research firm Research and Polling.

The poll found that the wolf reintroduction program has more support in Arizona than in New Mexico.

It shows that 77 percent of Arizonans and 69 percent of New Mexicans support reintroducing wolves on public lands in their states.

Twenty-one percent of New Mexicans and 13 percent of Arizonans oppose the program.

Sanderoff says the sample size wasn�t large enough in areas where wolves have been released to say if opinions there differed from those in general.

Hmm. I never saw that poll because if I did the numbers would be way lower.

And I would say its because the general public is uninformed about them

1 If they knew that school kids had to be caged up at bus stops in reserve NM so they dint get eaten :shock:

2 If they knew how much money was lost to stock predation :evil:

3 That the breading program is out of control with the mix of dogs in some of the areas :oops:

4 That the federal Wolf program workers working in alpine az could not tell the diferance between a wolf track and the tracks my dogs had made in the fresh snow :oops:

But they are sold on the fact that they might get to hear one in the woods on there once a year camp out

looks like the uninformed, uneducated populous will once again ruin another two great hunting states. These %&&$#@# idiots need to get a clue, they keep making the same mistakes.

They will figure it out when some 6 yr old little girl gets mauled, but then I'm sure it will be someone elses fault.

actually it will be the little girls fault for throwing rocks at the pack of wolves attacking her, or it will be a wolf-dog hybrid that wasn't part of their breeding program therefor its not their responsibility or better yet if its any female cycling it will be her fault because she was cycling (this one was used before by owners of a pitbull that killed a women)
