Friends and Members:
We are this weekend working on
legislation in
Subject: HJM 48
We
believe this will move out of this committee tomorrow.
Then it should go to the House floor. There are only 5 days
left in the session, and the
enviros
are trying to stall this so it can't get through in time.
If members will go ahead and start sending emails or making calls to
ALL of the
Representatives and Senators, that
would probably be the best. All of the contact information is
available on
www.nmlegis.gov
Dear Representatives Madalena,
Salazar, Bandy, Bratton, Egolf, Ezzell, Garcia, Gray, Lujan, Nunez,
Rodefer, Sandoval & Steinborn. Thank you in advance for the passage
of this needed and important memorial
HJM 48.
This e-mail is in support of the
memorial and is a much needed and necessary message to be sent to
the New Mexico Game and Fish Commission and NM Game and Fish
Department to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in some
form of compensation program to many of our severally affected
ranchers who have been hit hard by the wolves. The NMGFD has just
issued an agency bill analysis on the memorial and basically are
copping out on a much needed recognition from them as to what damage
the wolves are doing to our ranchers, sportsmen and local economy.
Up until this point they have done little to alleviate our dire
situation.
The taxpayers of
The proposed legislation has been
pegged by many as an attempt to prohibit wolf reintroduction. That
is not the object of the memorial. The thrust of
it is that our ranchers and sportsmen
and local economy need to be recognized as bearing the brunt of the
wolf program and should be compensated and protected from further
harm. Our school system here is in dire straights, budget wise and
losing students every year. Our small businesses are barely staying
alive and many ranchers are being severely crippled and a few who
even had to go out of business with the wolf being the nail in their
collective coffins. One rancher testified recently that he recently
lost 14 working days on his ranch dealing with wolf depredations. It
just isn't fair!
Your help in passing this memorial
would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
American for
Preservation of Western Environment (APWE)
Now Jaguars?

Federal investigators are weighing whether the evidence gathered in the case of jaguar Macho B merits prosecution of anyone involved in its capture last year, an official said Friday.
The criminal investigation is now under "prosecutorial review" by the U.S. Attorney's Office in
"It's an ongoing investigation with coordination and consultation going on between the service and the U.S. Attorney's Office," said Chavez, who declined to comment on specifics.
The U.S. Attorney's Office will not comment on the case because of the ongoing criminal investigation, said Sandra Raynor, a spokeswoman for the office in
The Inspector General's Office of the U.S. Interior Department issued a report this week saying that the Feb. 18, 2009, capture of the 15-year-old Macho B was intentional and that evidence gathered in the case points to criminal wrongdoing. It did not name any specific persons as potential suspects.
The jaguar died 12 days after his capture after he slowed down and was recaptured and then euthanized.
The capture by Arizona Game and Fish violated the law, the new report said, in part because the state didn't have a valid permit to capture the jaguar.
Game and Fish responded that it did not order anyone to capture the jaguar and that it believes it had a valid capture permit.
