This must have been an interesting political battle.

It's about damn time!

Politics as usual, took strong arm rather than common sense. I did find it amusing that this news came from the BBC and not an American news agency.

YAHOO!!! Can't wait to make me a jacket & matching gloves and maybe a Mtn. Lion scarf! I still laugh however cause even here they say "Grey Wolf"... and as I understand it, it was the NON-indigenous Canadian Timber Wolf that was "Re-introduce" (for the first time) in those areas.

"We may soon be witnessing the second large-scale extermination of wolves in the West,"

Hyperbole much there Ms, Wolf lover person?

There has been a naturalized spread of Canadian wolves from Glacier National Park. That population didn't explode like the transplants did. Oregon has them under state protection until we get 4 established breeding pairs. Many want them established in the big wild park on the west boundary of Portland where the people live who want them and not the east side of the state where they people don't.

If this truly comes to pass, it will help you guys in OR, ID and UT. And if anyone wants to see some wolves just drive between John Day and Vale sometme...

It's been long over due to get them removed from the list. Sadly as others have sad politics have been at work and this could have been updated much sooner.
