Ranchers can now get permits to kill endangered wolves
Such killings are not new but are typically carried out by wildlife officials.
The Trump administration is increasingly granting ranchers permits to kill endangered Mexican gray wolves, including on public land. A Feb. 19 permit in Catron County, NM reportedly offers little evidence for lethal action yet targets a pack with a possibly pregnant female.

Arizona & New Mexico Game and Fish report Mexican gray wolves increased from 286 in 2024 to 319 in 2025.
But thereโs a catch. If the population averages 320 wolves over 4 years, the species could be downlisted from endangered to threatened, making it easier to kill them.

Wolf as game animal
What the new laws mean in concrete terms, who is behind them, and what animal welfare and science have to say about them.
Latest news: Today, Germanyโs Committee on Agriculture, Food and Home Affairs is holding a hearing on adding the wolf as a โgenerally huntable speciesโ under the Federal Hunting Act. If passed, it could pave the way for wolf culls nationwide.

WOLVES are NOT the threat! ๐ I do not understand why itโs so hard to allow wolves the freedom to live their lives without being targeted. Wolves bring about so much balance to our planet & ecosystem. ๐
If you want to know who the real threats are. Look at the ones trying to make them go extinct.

It sickens me what wolves face at the hands of ego driven trophy hunters. Wolves are not a threat, but yet they find themselves at the hands of those whom are driven by a trophy sport, any excuse to hunt/kill for oneโs own pride. Itโs morbid, itโs inhumane! Wolves donโt deserve this act of cruelty.๐

A wolf has come to Los Angeles County for the first time in more than a century
Around 6 a.m. Saturday, the 3-year-old female arrived in the mountains north of Santa Clarita, as tracked by a GPS collar.
A female gray wolf was spotted in Los Angeles County over the weekend. This marks the first documented wolf in the area in at least a century.
With an estimated 60 wolves currently living in CA, her presence offers real hope for the continued return of wolves to the state.
