Federal Court: Great Lakes Wolf Hunting Ends Now

[glinda]

"Sport hunting and trapping of wolves in the Great Lakes region must end immediately, a federal District Court has ruled. The court overturned a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision that removed Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves living in the western Great Lakes region, which includes Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin."

4. I'm interested to see what this does in my area.

They're a nuisance on some areas of the North Shore.

9. That is their natural habitat and range.

10. Their original range was most of North America.

In this area, they can be a nuisance to humans.

5. Hooray!

This is wonderful news! I just heard about it on MPR while I was driving home from work tonight.

This land is their land - surely there's a way to coexist with our wild brothers and sisters.

8. I lived in a remote area for many years and there was a pack

that also lived nearby. They would run across my property sometimes. I only saw them once all together. Wolves are afraid of people.
