Arizona Daily Sun (Original) Letter to the Editor Posted April 9, 2014 by Kathleen Cheatham
To the editor:
Thank you, Arizona Daily Sun, for the spoof on our endangered Mexican wolves. It certainly would be good news if these wolves were allowed to follow their prey all the way to the Grand Canyon.
We eradicated the original elk in Arizona and killed all the wolves (except seven) because they had no prey left and turned to livestock. We imported elk from the Rocky Mountains, we now know how to protect our livestock, so let's do it! It's time to accept this much-needed apex predator and let go of the irrational fear-mongering and let them do the job God created them to do. They may be the only thing between our elk and elk wasting disease because "wolves make the elk herd strong."
