Recently, in Catron County, the local county commissioner started posting signs like this, ``Dangerous Wolf Area.'' It just is a continuation of the theme that we're trying to accomplish something in the Second District of New Mexico that you're not willing to accomplish in your own districts. I will tell you that we heard testimony in the Resources Committee that described the most provocative sound to a wolf is a crying baby or a laughing baby. It's a matter of time until these wolves, which will stalk for weeks and weeks and weeks at a time around local homes, it's a matter of time until a wolf catches one of these children. Their blood will be on your hands, my friend, because we've had the testimony in committee. I would say that this has nothing to do with endangered species but instead has to do with protecting the lives of the people and the livestock of the Second District.
