A federal judge placed Great Lakes wolves back on the endangered species list in 2014, ending wolf trapping and hunting and preventing farmers from killing wolves that attack their animals.

Wisconsin’s wolf population has been growing since. The state Department of Natural Resources released data in June that suggest between 925 and 952 wolves roamed the state last winter. That’s up from between 866 and 897 wolves the previous winter.

Online DNR records show that so far this year there have been 39 confirmed wolf attacks on hunting dogs, cattle, sheep and one pet dog. The DNR recorded 76 confirmed wolf attacks in 2016.

Under the bill, the DNR would be prohibited from spending any money to manage wolves other than to reimburse people for losses caused by wolves. Police and wardens would be barred from enforcing any federal or state law relating to wolf management or that prohibits killing wolves. The DNR wouldn’t be allowed to communicate with the federal government about enforcing wolf management laws or support federal enforcement efforts.

The bill wouldn’t apply if President Donald Trump’s administration removes wolves from the endangered species list.
