Love how Ossario always implies the minimum number is the maximum on the ground. Pathetic that those are the tactics they always use.

You should also be reminded that the Obama administration threw out the Bush era of the ESA which included Distinct Population Segments, which is about time! Now animal populations cannot be listed as endangered just because there may only be 50 in one state (which is currently the situation happening with wolves in the lower 48 - because there are well over 20,000 in Alaska!)

Should you be reminded that subspecies are not that important - especially with wolves. The wolves in Arizona can be linked genetically to the wolves in Russia for example. Wolves, being the highly adaptable and wide-ranging animals that they are, subspecies differences are minor and inconsequential - science has proven this and even hardcore environmentalist and wolf advocates have promoted this for years! ("Wolves don't know invisible boundaries" etc).

No, it doesn't, because like you just said the Bald eagle and Golden eagle are apart of the same family whereas the Gray wolf is the name of a species and the Mexican wolf is simply a SUBSPECIES of the Gray wolf. So once again that analogy does not work.

It isn't my opinion but the opinion of The Wildlife Society which represents over 10,000 expert wildife professionals and also the opinion of the USFW, the federal agency responsible for scientific management of our species.

@numufu

The bird example made perfect sense. The Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle ARE related to each other considering they're both members of the bird family, Accipitridae. In other words it's just like the Mexican wolf and Grey wolf are related.

My point is the wolf, all species, needs to be saved for the simple fact of how they keep balance in the ecology of things. That might not be a big deal to you but to those that aren't political but know the science of it all, it is! And rightly so!
