Despite this, last month the Obama Administration announced plans to strip wolves across nearly the entire continental U.S. of their federal protections. Will you lend gray wolves your voice so their recovery can continue? I have witnessed—and defeated in court—a number of flawed attempts to delist and hunt gra...
