ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - They howled at the University of New Mexico Friday in honor of the university's mascot and the role of the Mexican gray wolf in the state.

Wolf Fest 2012 features booths from more than 25 nonprofit and campus organizations.

Beyond celebrating the wolves' role in the school and the state's heritage, some of those groups were promoting the wolf reintroduction program in southwestern New Mexico.

That program has been very controversial.

Ranchers have fought it because the wolves have attacked livestock.

Some wolves have been found shot to death.
