The legislation would require the Secretary of the Interior to delist the gray wolf from Endangered Species Act protections in the lower 48 states by finalizing the proposed rule entitled “Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Gray Wolf (Canis 7 lupus) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife” (84 Fed.

Hate-based management, such as we are witnessing right now in Idaho, shows what happens when wolf management is entrusted to State management. This type of moral bankruptcy, and war on wolves is unacceptable and will continue throughout the country if wolves are delisted.
