Lansing, Michigan – -(Ammoland.com)- The impending showdown over Michigan’s wolf management looms large, as we head into the current election cycle.
On one end of the spectrum is the largest anti-hunting organization in the nation – the Washington-based Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), while opposition comes from Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management (CPWM).
Over 5 ½ years ago, then Deputy Secretary of the Interior, Lynn Scarlett, announced the removal of the western Great Lakes wolf population and portions of the northern Rocky Mountain population of gray wolves from protection under the Endangered Species Act.
“Wolves have recovered in the Great Lakes and the northern Rocky Mountains because of the hard work, cooperation and flexibility shown by states, tribes, conservation groups, federal agencies and citizens of both regions,” said Scarlett. “We can all be proud of our various roles in saving this icon of the American wilderness.”
Well, almost all of us.
HSUS has already sent its lobbyists to Lansing and has threatened even more lawsuits.
