Klobuchar Pushes For Bill To Lift Protections For Wolves
WCCO-TVSenators from three states have introduced legislation to lift federal protections for gray wolves in Wyoming, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan and return responsibility for managing those populations to the states.
The bill introduced Tuesday comes from senators Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, John Barrasso and Enzi of Wyoming, and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
The Interior Department has tried several times to take wolves in the four states off the endangered list but has been blocked by the courts. Both the Senate bill and one introduced in the House last week would prevent the courts from overruling the decision.
Similar proposals stalled out last year, partly due to White House opposition. But farm and rancher groups and other wolf hunting supporters hope that changes under the Trump administration.

(14,709 posts)2. So you think the states would be less responsible than DJT's administration?
Not saying one way or the other, just asking.

(15,348 posts)4. You make a good point.
But 45's MisAdministration will not last forever and it might be difficult to overturn this law when it does. Some states have good management. Others historically not so much.
If 45's MisAdministration does continue, then it is not only wolves that will be screwed. But that is another issue.

(103 posts)8. This is a bad idea
Ecosystems need predators to keep herbivores in check, so the latter do not contribute to deforestation. We need to protect our trees.
