We strongly oppose these petitions and call on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (#USFWS) to deny these requests and uphold #protections for #wolves under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct in these areas and its surrounding regions.

Hopefully the #USFWS will stop dithering, and protect the #BiStateSageGrouse this time. This merry-go-round of agency failures and court smackdowns is not helping the birds.
“Maybe the third time will be the charm for getting this population segment the protection it so clearly deserves,” said Laura Cunningham, California director of the Western Watersheds Project.“None of the science shows that the bi-state birds have benefited from the service’s dithering."

"The service issued the kill order after 13 livestock carcasses were found.."
The whole story is that there were calves, in JANUARY, on public lands, that allegedly the wolves killed a full-grown healthy bull, and that these allotments have been a death trap for #MexicanWolves for years. Without the context, #USFWS's position here appears justified. With the context, it's same old, same old, sacrificing #EndangeredSpecies for the #Livestock industry.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (#USFWS) has gotten a lot of mileage in the media for rejecting the #EndangeredSpeciesAct #Coyote petition to protect #MexicanWolves. They even put out their own press release, like they were gloating about their unwillingness to protect #Lobos.
Wev. We're still here and we're not going to stop fighting to protect and recover #Wolves.

MEDIA RELEASE at link:
Idaho's wolf management plan? Kill 2/3 of all the wolves in the state, give ranchers carte blanche, and allowing sadistic hunters to kill wolves in a variety of cruel ways. In sum: bringing them as close to the edge of extinction as they can get away with. #USFWS needs to #ProtectWolves under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct #ASAP!

A new study showing… wait for it, killing #wolves does not increase #elk populations. Hunters and ranchers kill them out of hate and sick sport, not science. Do better, #USFWS… you can protect them in the #US.

New #preprint: How well is the Lacey Act doing at protecting the U.S. from imports of #Bsal, an invasive disease decimating #salamander populations? Host species banned in 2016 are being kept out, but trade in amphibians since discovered to be likely hosts continues. From Patrick Connelly, Oliver Stringham, Evan Eskew, and myself.
