Folks,

Huge breaking news today.  Wolves are now officially delisted in the Western Great Lakes.  Interior Secretary Salazar made the announcement this morning.  The delisting rule takes affect in 30 days.  Wisconsin plans to start managing wolves on February 1, 2012.  We are waiting from official announcements from Minnesota and Michigan as well.

Another very important aspect of the delisting is that USFWS has rejected arguments that two species of wolves exist in the Western Great Lakes.  What this means is that all wolves can be managed without complications that could result from two different wolf species designations.

The publication of this delisting rule does not stop litigation challenges to the Western Great Lakes delisting.  Watch for any legal challenges to the delisting in coming weeks that could stop management actions in Wisconsin, Michigan or Minnesota.

However, this is another important step forward that deserves our support.  More importantly it confirms what Big Game Forever and sportsmen all over America have been saying.  Wolves are not endangered.  It is now time for states to be able to manage their wolf populations.

Just to avoid confusion, I think it's prudent that everyone be made aware that when it comes to disCussing wolves the word "managed" is simply the politicaly correct term for "KILLED".

So from the above post:

What this means is that all wolves can be managed killed without complications that could result from two different wolf species designations.
