Currently, there is an effort to delist wolves in congress. Right now, our best shot at getting something passed is in the Continuing Resolution. We just sent this out:
__________________________________________________________________
Support the Continuing Resolution that Delists the Northern Rockies Wolf Populations in Idaho and Montana
Representative Mike Simpson of Idaho has attached language to the Continuing Resolution that delists wolves in the Northern Rockies.
This Rider simply reinstates the 2009 delisting rule that gave Montana and Idaho control over their destinies. It does not modify the ESA, and as we understand it, has support in both the House and the Senate.
The Rider would delist recovered wolves and may lead to wolf hunting by sportsmen for management purposes. This will be a step in the right direction in restoring elk, deer and moose populations.
Please take a moment and send Representative Simpson a note, or call his office supporting this Rider.
Representative Simpson’s contact info:
DC office 202-225-5531
Boise office 208-334-1953
Email: simpson.house.gov

Montana Wildlife Federation President
