AMOC Livestock Depredation Recommendations

10. AMOC will propose, within the context of Recommendations (5) and (6), above, that States and Tribes be authorized to issue permits, in accordance with an appropriately revised AMOC SOP 13.0: Control of Mexican Wolves, to private individuals and/or their delegated representative(s) to use authorized non-lethal means (e.g. cracker shells, rubber bullets) to harass wolves engaged in nuisance behavior or livestock depredation, or which are attacking domestic pets on private, public, or Tribal Trust lands, and to take (i.e. permanent removal by authorized lethal means) wolves in the act of attacking domestic dogs on private or Tribal Trust lands

11. AMOC will propose, within the context of Recommendations (5) and (6), above, that, when the MWEPA population (management) objective estimate on December 31 for two sequential years is 125 wolves or more, in each immediately subsequent year the States of Arizona and New Mexico and any Tribal AMOC Cooperators may:
a. Take (i.e. permanently remove by any authorized means) as many wolves as necessary, above a MWEPA baseline of 125 wolves, to resolve documented wolf nuisance and livestock depredation incidents, consistent with AMOC SOP 13.0: Control of Mexican Wolves;
b. Issue State or Tribal permits to private individuals to take (i.e. permanently remove by any authorized means) as many wolves as necessary, above a MWEPA minimum baseline of 125 wolves, to resolve documented wolf nuisance and livestock depredation incidents, consistent with AMOC SOP 13.0: Control of Mexican Wolves;
c. Take (i.e. permanently remove by any authorized means) as many wolves as necessary, above a minimum baseline of 125 wolves, to resolve local unacceptable impacts on native ungulate populations.
