Montana Passes Wolf Resolution

January 19, 2011 by Trapper Leave a Comment

The Montana House of Representatives passed a resolution today to urge the federal government to remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List.  The vote?  99-1.  That’s right.  99% of house members agreed that wolf management needs to be returned to the state.

What effect will the resolution have?  I’m not sure, but it probably won’t do much.  As far as I can tell, there are only two ways the wolf can be removed from the list…….1) the U.S. district court judge who continues to uphold the environmental activist appeals would have to be removed from the bench, or 2) the U.S. government would have to pass special legislation that would remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List.  I’m not sure that such an action has ever taken place.

Regardless, this resolution further proves that Montanans fully support state management of the gray wolf, and if Montana has its way, we could someday see a permanent controlled hunting (and maybe even trapping) season for gray wolves in the state.

Read the full resolution here.
