Protect Michigan Wolves

Michigan appears to have crooked people elected to public office… A Republican senator Tom Casperson is working at killing wolves instead of important issues like children

LANSING, MI — A Republican senator has introduced lame-duck legislation that would reauthorize Michigan wildlife mangers to classify gray wolves as a game species if the animal is ever removed from the U.S. Endangered Species list after a 2014 law which allowed that was stuck down by an appeals court.

Senate Bill 1187, introduced by state Sen. Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, on Dec. 1, comes nine days after the Michigan Court of Appeals overturned a 2015 Michigan Court of Claims ruling that upheld the state Natural Resources Commission’s authority to open a hunting season on Michigan wolves.

The bill has bypassed committee and goes directly to the Senate floor. It’s not clear when it’s scheduled for a vote.
