With the tiny number of Jaguars in the US, they are still getting no help from ranchers and others in establishing a population in the southwest:

The following has been accepted into the comment section of the SFGATE, Thank you SantaFeJoe for bringing it to our attention. Thank you NSN for this forum:

Ranchers continue to unashamedly take a birthright that has belonged to the native jaguar and wolf for millennia.

Ranchers need to do something positive for the wolves and the jaguars. They continue to whine about problems that wolves and jaguars bring them, but the ranchers created the problem! Through a law suit, they remain bullheadedly determined to place the problem on our backs (the public), all the while taking from us who deeply love nature.

How does one spell audacity?

Well guess what ranchers? The games have changed from just a few decades ago. Until you change your attitudes toward the jaguar and the gray wolf....you will be forced to contend with the Center for Biological Diversity and its arsenal of attorneys. May God bless the CBD! You can choose to change by manning up and speaking the truth, or continue to face a fight that I am sure you cannot win.

You fight to prevent the public from viewing the horrible business of your slaughter houses. Yet, you are quick to publicize the grueling details of the wolves and the jaguar killing your cattle for sustenance, on a range that IS STILL historically theirs.

How does one spell hypocricy ?

My lavish praise will go to the first rancher who steps out from the bunch........ and publicly embraces the gray wolf and the jaguar for its rightful place in nature.

Just one rancher needs to step out from the crowd and speak the simple truth. Do what you know in your heart is right. ONLY then will we begin working on solutions for both sides. It will not be easy...but achievable.

Maybe your business can co-exist with the predators. Get creative instead of pointing the finger at NATIVE apex predators that you extirpated from their native range.
