New amendment would de-list gray wolves
A group of lawmakers is making another attempt to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act. An amendment offered by Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson would direct the Secretary of the Interior to reissue final rules for wolves in the Western Great Lakes and Wyoming.
In a statement, Johnson says gray wolf listing decisions should come from wildlife experts, and while Congress has failed to act, he says problems with wolves have only gotten worse. Johnson calls the amendment “critical” and says it would allow wolf management plans that are based on federal and state wildlife expertise to move forward without legal ambiguity.
If passed and signed into law, the amendment would also block judicial review of the rules. A previous rule by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delisting wolves and giving states the authority to manage wolf populations was overturned by a Federal Appeals Court.
Johnson’s amendment has the support of Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Wyoming Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso.

I find it outrageous that in this time of falling economy and pandemic that you would chose to delist our most beautiful and majestic grey wolf! What is wrong with you people? The majority of Americans love wolves and want to see them protected! Trump is doing enough damage to wildlife and your senseless proposal will only add to it!
Stop the madness now! Rethink this horrific decision! -
I find it abhorrent that these corrupt lawmakers are focusing on killing off wolves and wildlife instead of focusing on getting the country back on track. This is a reason why so many people refuse to vote for republicans because they offer no protection for the planet but their rich lobbyists buddies. I stand against killing wolves and delisting endangered species and polluting the water and air.

Please stop this terrible amendment. The wolves are an important asset to the world. Please focus on the entire world that is fighting and dying. Let God’s beautiful and innocent creatures live.

Delist them! All of the wolves that were forced in during the ’90s due to the non-essential experiment are not a species that is native to the US, and is destroying native wildlife.
