What does a budget bill have to do with killing wolves?
Absolutely nothing.
But hatred of these animals has become so out of control that the gray wolf will become the first creature ever taken off the U.S. endangered species list by an act of Congress, rather than by scientific review, under legislation sent to the White House on Thursday. IT’S TIME TO UNITE PRO-WOLFERS! WRITE YOUR STATE SENATORS AND DEMAND THEY TAKE ACTION AGAINST THE KILLING OF OVER ONE THOUSAND WOLF FAMILIES, INCLUDING PUPS.
The Associated Press reports the following,
“BILLINGS, Mont. – Federal wildlife officials say they will take more than 1,300 gray wolves in the Northern Rockies off the endangered species list within 60 days.
An attachment to the budget bill signed into law Friday by President Barack Obama strips protections from wolves in five Western states.
It marks the first time Congress has taken a species off the endangered list.
Idaho and Montana plan public wolf hunts this fall. Hunts last year were canceled after a judge ruled the predators remained at risk.
Protections remain in place for wolves in Wyoming because of its shoot-on-sight law for the predators.
There are no immediate plans to hunt the small wolf populations in Oregon and Washington. No packs have been established in Utah.”
