Mexican gray wolves

When agencies create and enforce boundaries, such as state lines and experimental population boundaries in NM and AZ, there are not only concerns about the risks of death and injury inherent in any wildlife capture, but also a concern that transcends potential impacts on individual wolves. Such high-level and sustained intervention focused on only allowing certain wolves in certain places doesn’t allow widespread and meaningful recovery of wild wolves across their historic range and may be an ineffective use of taxpayer and conservation dollars. Priority for time, funding and other resources should be dedicated to actually conserving and protecting wolves, not moving them according to political whims.

Rep. Boebert’s wolf delisting bill is a deadly invitation to trophy hunt wolves to extinction. Stripping these amazing animals of protection while they’re still fighting to survive isn’t conservation, it’s cruelty. Wolves belong in the wild, not mounted on someone’s wall.

House votes to delist gray wolves from endangered species list • Daily Montanan Bill contains a provision preventing courts from reviewing legislation, similar to initial wolf delisting in Rocky Mountain states

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 211-204 to pass a bill (H.R. 845) that would strip gray wolves of federal protections across the country, if made into law. This would upend decades of work to recover gray wolves. Removing ESA protections would open the door to unrestricted harm like wolf hunts, hinder efforts to recover wolves within their historic range and risk destabilizing ecosystems.
