Gray Wolves Delisting Uncceptable

Friday, March 6, 2009

I don't care if it's the Bush Administration or the Obama Administration, this is completely unacceptable.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Friday he was upholding the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to remove gray wolves from the federal endangered list in the Northern Rockies and the western Great Lakes.
Here's what Defenders of Wildlife has to say.
I have some terrible news. Today, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that he would follow the discredited path of the Bush Administration and delist wolves in the Northern Rockies and Greater Yellowstone region.

This is a stunning development, just six weeks into the Obama Administration. This delisting paves the way for almost 1000 wolves to be killed under deadly state management plans in Idaho and Montana.

The killing could begin in just weeks.
Defenders of Wildlife is planning to file an emergency legal challenge to this decision. If you can help, please click here. Thanks.
