Wolves

Today I read that there was good news, wolves are now making a comeback and are no longer endangered! This means that the government has taken away their endangered status.

However, this good news comes at a very bad time for the wolves that live in Idaho. According to Defenders for Wildlife Action Fund, "last week, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission even set a price for the tag to kill wolves -- $26.50 for in-state residents and $256 dollars for out-of-state people". This couldn't be happening if the wolves were still considered endangered.

It should be very interesting to see how things play out, there is a movement in the works to get wolves back on the endangered species list. I hope that these beautiful animals will get a chance to keep their amazing come back going strong!
