Environmental groups file notice to sue over federal delisting of wolves in Wyoming
 
BEN NEARY Associated Press September 10, 2012 
 
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Two coalitions of environmental groups filed notice Monday that they intend to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over the agency's decision to end federal protections for wolves in Wyoming.
 
The groups oppose the state of Wyoming's classification of wolves as predators that can be shot on sight in more than 80 percent of state when federal protections end Oct. 1. Wyoming also has scheduled a regulated trophy wolf hunt in the remainder of the state, an area around the eastern and southern borders of Yellowstone National Park, starting next month.
 
The environmental groups emphasize that Wyoming's current wolf management plan is similar to an earlier version that the federal agency repudiated after initially accepting it a few years ago. They claim the federal government is stopping wolf management for political reasons, not because the current plan is any better than the last one.
 
"The Wyoming wolf plan and removing protections for Wyoming wolves is a disaster for wolf recovery," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director for the Center for Biological Diversity in Portland, Ore.
 
Both coalitions filed their notice to sue Monday in federal court in Washington.

Funny claim considering wolf populations have been allowed to explode for political reasons

Sy Gilliland, secretary and treasurer of the Wyoming Outfitters and Guides Association, said wolves are taking a steep toll on the wildlife herds in northwestern Wyoming.

"The numbers that they show when they talk about statewide statistics have nothing to do with the elk herds that are being impacted in northwestern Wyoming," Gilliland said. "Those elk herds are being severely impacted. The moose, the Shiras moose, is all but extinct in northwestern Wyoming. Several moose areas have been closed to hunting. There's virtually no moose population left north of Jackson, west of Cody, or north of Dubois."  


last two paragraphs of similar story from the Capitol Press.

moose tags in WA will go from once in a lifetime > never in your lifetime. :bash:

These environmentalist groups should have to start paying the bills for the wolves, we pay for hunting tags and the money goes to game conservation what do these groups do that directly help wildlife. They spend all kinds of money to sue the government but how much do they spend on actually helping wildlife

They do not like the WY plan, wolves shot on sight in most of the state like it should be in Washington.  :mgun:

This lawsuit has absolutely no merit whatsoever.

I think the pro-wolfers want the wolves to be classified as big game rather than predators.  This is probably because the state manages big game differently than predators.  If you continue reading the article it goes on to state that if wolves are classified as predators they can be shot on sight in 80 percent of the state (I presume with nothing more than a hunting license similar to how coyotes are managed).
