House Advances Bill to Delist Wolves from ESA

A bill is moving through the House of Representatives that would delist wolves from the Endangered Species Act, and it just passed out of a key committee.  The bill is sponsored by Wisconsin's Tom Tiffany and gained approval from the House Natural Resources Committee, and will now head to the full House for a vote.

Tiffany said he’s excited about clearing the first hurdle in getting it before the House.  He introduced a similar bill last year but says he is much more confident about its chances of passing this year now that Republicans control the House, Senate, and the presidency.

Bill supporters include several of America’s leading agricultural groups and individuals, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the Public Land Council, and others.
