The November election results are indisputable. Voters repealed Proposal 1 (moving the wolf to the game species list) with a 55 percent “no†vote, and they defeated Proposal 2 (giving the NRC the authority to decide which species can be hunted), with a 64 percent “no†vote. Proposal 2 was defeated in 69 of 83 counties, in a landslide rejection of NRC decision-making power.And now, a federal District Court has ruled that sport hunting and trapping of wolves in the Great Lakes region must stop for the foreseeable future. Wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin are federally protected – the way these precious and iconic creatures were for decades.
