Feds say no to “threatened” status for wolves
Why is that USFWS seem to have their heads up their proverbial ASSES????
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Tuesday that it will not consider listing grey wolves as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act.
The suggestion had come from wolf protection groups who say the status would be a compromise between the current, fully endangered status and proposals in Congress to delist wolves entirely.
Wolves were delisted in 2012 but a late 2014 court order has restored federal protections for wolves in the Great Lakes area and in most western states.
The agency, however, determined the request was a “non-substantial petition.
