Opponents say
• Removing all gray wolves from the federal endangered species puts gray wolf recovery at risk and hurts Americans’ ability to seek out justice and defend their public health and environment.
Proponents say
• Management of Gray wolves should be transferred from the federal to state level to ensure farmers and ranchers have the legal avenue to protect their livestock from wolves.
• States should be able to use their science-based wildlife management for their own gray wolf population because they know what’s better for their state’s ecosystem.
