Cry endangered wolf? Not in Wyoming. Gray wolf back from near extinction
Source: CNN
The gray wolf population in Wyoming has grown enough to be removed from the endangered species list and will stop receiving federal protection next month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Friday.
The decision means that gray wolf has recovered from near extinction throughout the Northern Rocky Mountains, which includes all of Idaho and Montana and parts of Washington, Oregon and Utah, officials said.
The wolves in Wyoming won't be protected under the Endangered Species Act effective September 30, when the packs will be managed by the state, federal officials said.
"The return of the wolf to the Northern Rocky Mountains is a major success story, and reflects the remarkable work of states, tribes, and our many partners to bring this iconic species back from the brink of extinction," Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said in a statement.

Because they don't understand the wolf and the good things they do for the ecology, as well as to appease the vocal Anti-Wolf groups.
I can't count the number of arguments I've had with those sub-humans. THey always come out with the "The wolves will kill my cows" or the one about wolves attacking humans and on and on. They don't understand anything about the wolves other than the rumors and lies that people have spread since ancient times. 
I have noticed that some Hunting Guides wish to eliminate the wolf population because they prey on the deer and elk herds. Some think that the wolves are decimating the herds, leaving none for the hunters. Others seem to understand that, with the wolves in the picture, the herds are behaving more naturally and staying hidden. Those guides just dislike having to work harder to find the elk.
May my brothers and sisters that fall in these hunts find their way across BriFrost where they can find all of our brethren that have gone on before and join them in the Wild Hunt. 
Welcome to DU 
They have billboards all over MO, www.wyomingtourism.org, I'd love to see Yellowstone, but don't want a penny going to these psychopaths.
I won't touch beef in anything. Not healthy anyway, but all I can think about is how the ranchers are leading this anti-wolf mania.
Ken Salazar is a 4th generation CO rancher so he's appeasing his buddies. I can't figure out though otherwise why Obama is going along with this, its not as if there is anyone in WY that is going to vote for him anyway.
I'll leave it there, this issue makes me so angry that I'm incoherent.
