More Legal Wrangling over Michigan’s Wolves

By Glen Wunderlich

Michigan wolf management is now in the hands of a Washington D.C. federal district court judge.  At issue is whether wolf populations have fully recovered.  On one side of the matter is the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), which claims that the gray wolf still needs protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA); on the other side is the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation (USSAF) and others such as Michigan United Conservation Clubs defending the 2011 delisting rule against the HSUS lawsuit.
