Ranchers near the southern border are pushing for the delisting of the Mexican gray wolf, thanks to the Enhancing Safety for Animals Act that was introduced in the House.
The push comes after 25 years of protecting the wolf in states such as New Mexico and Arizona, having negative impacts on livestock herds.
The New Mexico Cattle Growers Association says that the wolf is overly abundant because of its protection and should not have been federally protected to begin with.
