https://chaffetz.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=447	Chaffetz leads western states coalition in fighting the introduction of the Mexican Wolf in Utah	2015-12-11	2015	2015-12	Republican	House	UT	Jason Chaffetz	C001076	chaffetz.house.gov			legacy	Today, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) joined Utah Representatives Rob Bishop, Chris Stewart and Mia Love, along with Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM) in sending a letter to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell expressing deep-seated concerns about the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program. The letter echoes bipartisan concerns voiced by the affected states. In the letter, the lawmakers argue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has “utilized the same recovery plan for the Mexican wolf since the early 1980’s.” That plan, they argue, is out of date and not based on the best science available. While historically 90% of Mexican wolves occupied territory in Mexico, “the Service seems committed to restoring Mexican wolves only in the United States,” the letter reads. Furthermore, the representatives point out that there is no historical evidence to show that Mexican wolves ever occupied some of the states and areas to which they are being “restored.” The letter concludes by asking that any updates to the recovery plan include input from local stakeholders, set achievable recovery goals with specific target numbers, and coordinate to achieve those goals within the wolf’s historic Mexican habitat – 90% of which is in Mexico.
