Illegal wolf killing is the leading cause of death for Mexican gray wolves, and the similarity of appearance with coyotes is a common excuse for wolves being unlawfully killed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf people are going to confuse Mexican wolves for coyotes, then it makes sense to stop killing coyotes in the areas where wolves are recovering,\u201d said Greta Anderson, deputy director of Western Watersheds Project. \u201cOur petition demonstrates that even professional wildlife agents can\u2019t seem to tell wolves and coyotes apart, and if it\u2019s that hard to really distinguish between the species, both should be protected by the Endangered Species Act for the sake of the rare Mexican wolf.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIllegal mortality is the leading cause of death for Mexican wolves, and research shows that undetected wolf deaths are likely as high or higher than known wolf poaching.&nbsp; Outlawing coyote killing in occupied wolf habitat in Arizona and New Mexico would be a simple and effective solution to the poaching problem,\u201d said David Parsons, former coordinator of the Mexican wolf recovery program. \u201cIf the Service won\u2019t prosecute people for mistakenly killing wolves, making it illegal to kill coyotes should substantially reduce Lobo mortalities.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s petition includes evidence that numerous Mexican wolves have been killed by people who believed, or claim to have believed, they were killing a coyote. This misidentification invokes a Department of Justice practice known as the \u201cMcKittrick policy\u201d that effectively protects the killers from prosecution because it requires the government to prove that the defendants knew they were killing an endangered species when they pulled the trigger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArizona and New Mexico don\u2019t do nearly enough to regulate coyote killing in ways that would protect Mexican gray wolves. In New Mexico, coyotes can be killed year-round without even so much as a hunting license,\u201d said Chris Smith, southwest wildlife advocate for WildEarth Guardians. \u201cWith such lax oversight and regulations, it\u2019s no wonder that imperiled and iconic wolves end up in the crosshairs.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNative wild canids, whether they are Mexican gray wolves or coyotes, are essential to ecosystems and neither need lethal management,\u201d explained Michelle Lute, PhD in wild canid conservation and carnivore conservation director for Project Coyote. \u201cProtecting both species makes pragmatic, ecological and ethical sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe government should do everything it can to protect endangered Mexican gray wolves, and this listing would be a key step,\u201d said Michael Robinson, a senior conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cIt\u2019s an outrage that merely saying \u2018I thought it was a coyote\u2019 serves as a get-out-of-jail-free card for anyone who shoots one of these highly imperiled animals.\u201dThe full text of the petition is available online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernwatersheds.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/WWP-FINAL-December-8-2022-Rulemaking-Petition-to-List-the-Coyote.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, with exhibits available <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1mbgmfbHHH6X5y9VWQAEGopkmpUYfJmvw?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media contacts:<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greta Anderson, Western Watersheds Project, (520)623-1878; <a>greta@westernwatersheds.org<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Smith, WildEarth Guardians, (505)395-6177; <a>csmith@wildearthguardians.org<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michelle Lute, Project Coyote, (406)848-4910; <a>mlute@projectcoyote.org<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Parsons, The Rewilding Institute, (505)908-0468; <a>davep@rewilding.org<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Robinson, Center for Biological Diversity, (575)313-7017; <a>michaelr@biologicaldiversity.org<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nTUCSON, Ariz. \u2013 In a formal \u201csimilarity of appearance\u201d Endangered Species Act petition filed today, fourteen conservation groups are urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to provide better federal protection for Mexican gray wolves by listing its look-alike species,&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.endangered.org\/conservation-groups-seek-to-protect-mexican-gray-wolves-by-listing-coyotes-as-endangered-in-parts-of-arizona-and-new-mexico\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;<strong>Conservation Groups Seek to Protect Mexican Gray Wolves by Listing Coyotes as Endangered in Parts of Arizona and New Mexico<\/strong>&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":31489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[836,837],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-esc-org","category-press-release","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
