Comments for Wolf management best controlled by states at http://rlch.org , comment 1 to 1 out of 1 comments http://rlch.org Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:30:45 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://rlch.org/content/view/875/62/#comment-1 I was thrilled to see wolves re-introduced to the Northern Rockies, and I'm thrilled they have done well. I also agree that it's time to de-list them. De-listing should occur, however, ONLY when all the involved states have COMPTETENT management plans in place. Clearly, this is NOT the case with Wyoming. The cowboy state's "See Wolf, Kill Wolf" de-listing policy is hardly sound biology-based management. Montana's plan (which includes a hunting season and allows ranchers to kill cattle-harassing wolves) is far from perfect, but it does specify a certain wolf population, functional packs, and expanded wolf territory. Until Wyoming comes up with a reasonable and prudent management policy, I think the court has made the right call.
