U.S. says some gray wolves no longer need Endangered Species Act protection

 

The U.S. government announced yesterday that it will remove 4,000 gray wolves in

the western Great Lakes area from Endangered Species Act protections and work to

delist 1,200 others in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Canis lupus management in

Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin will shift to state and tribal leaders, who

are expected to ban trophy hunting for at least five years. Calling coexistence

of wolves and humans " a difficult balancing act, " Interior Deputy Secretary Lynn

Scarlett claimed victory: " We have saved this icon of the wilderness. " The love

it-or-loathe-it predator has been protected since 1974; its removal marks the

17th time in the 33 years of the Endangered Species Act that a species has been

delisted. Some worry that the move is premature, but others are rejoicing. " Any

time you have a large vertebrate species down so low as it was when it was

listed and come back in such dramatic fashion, " said Jeff Towner of the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, " it's kind of a red-letter day. "

" Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies

in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are

cold and are not clothed. "

-- Dwight Eisenhower
