"Wisconsin's two U.S. senators joined forces this week to introduce a bill to remove federal protections for the gray wolf.
Republican Ron Johnson and Democrat Tammy Baldwin are seeking to return management of gray wolf populations to the states.
They're also seeking to delist the gray wolf as an endangered species in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Wyoming under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Wyoming's two Republican U.S. senators, Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso, have joined the effort that comes after a key court ruling."
"Last month, a California federal court judge ordered that federal protections be restored for gray wolves in most of the U.S., including Wisconsin.
The ruling effectively banned any hunting or trapping seasons as well as prohibited lethal control of wolves around ranches or farms. Only nonlethal means can be used to deter wolves."
"In a statement, Johnson said: “Wisconsinites must have a say in the management of gray wolves. In the western Great Lakes region, state wildlife agencies should manage the recovered population so the wolf’s ongoing role in the ecosystem does not come at the expense of farmers, loggers, sportsmen and people who simply live in these areas."
Johnson, Baldwin push bill to remove federal protections for gray wolf
My response: Well of course they would try to remove them from the endangered list. I believe wolves to them represent something they can use to get the people fighting so they can run off with all the money. That and politicians serve themselves by serving special interests.
In a statement, Baldwin said: “I have supported a bipartisan effort to delist the gray wolf in Wisconsin since 2011 because of the scientific conclusion that the population has recovered in the Great Lakes region and that is why we should return management to the State of Wisconsin. This bipartisan legislation is the best solution because it is driven by science and is focused on delisting in the Great Lakes region, including Wisconsin.”
