MISSOULA, Mont. (Sept. 4, 2012)?The Boone and Crockett Club applauds the Aug. 31, 2012, decision of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for returning management authority for the gray wolf to the State of Wyoming.
This decision is consistent with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the 1980 and 1987 Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery Plans. This delisting of the Wyoming wolf population from the lists of threatened and endangered species completes a decades-long project to restore the wolf to the Rocky Mountains that began in 1973. A large and growing wolf population now ranges in North America from the Rockies and the Great Lakes area north through Canada and Alaska.
“Somebody” at the White House made sure that congressional “negotiators” withdrew a rider that would have prevented environmentalists to sue as part of a pending agreement to, once and for all, remove Wyomning wolves from the endangered species list. It now appears as though the whackos will have veto power, once again.
As always, it will be emotion trumping science with the aid of any technicality that can be used advantageously. And, these animal rightists, who claim to be helping animals, continue to drain governmental funds through lawsuit after lawsuit.
The give and take are part of the government’s $1 trillion spending bill. Legislative approval is still needed for the agreement on Wyoming’s wolves. More deatails at the link here…
