The American Big Game and Livestock Protection Act (S.249)

[Ray]

I'm passing along a notice I got from Big Game Forever.

Sportsmen,
The Senate announced the introduction of The American Big Game and Livestock Protection Act (S.249). This bill, follows S. 3919 by returning management of wolf populations to state wildlife agencies who were so instrumental in recovery of wolf populations. Returning balance to the ecosystem will not only benefit America’s Big Game and Livestock resources, but also ensure balanced levels of wolf populations under state wildlife protections.
The original cosponsors of this legislation are: Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Michael Enzi (R-Wyo.), Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and James Risch (R-Idaho). Very much like H.R. 509 introduced last week in the House of Representatives, S.249 bill would prevent further litigation and pre-empt existing lawsuits related to state wolf populations.
This legislation is officially endorsed by Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Congressional Sportsmen Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, Wild Sheep Foundation, National Trappers Association, Safari Club International, U.S. Sportsman’s Alliance, National Rifle Association (NRA), American Farm Bureau, American Sheep Industry Association, National Cattleman’s Beef Association, Public Lands Council and many other livestock and wildlife conservation organizations.
Please take a few minutes and make a phone call or send an email of support to our friends in Congress who are working so diligently to obtain passage of this important legislation. Phone numbers and emails can be found on at http://biggameforever.org on the “how you can help” page.

I got that message too Ray. Definitely great news, eventually these wolf bills will get traction. Be sure and send messages to senators, ya I know it's a waste of time with the 2 senators in this state, but copy your message to the whole senate.
