Tiffany’s wolf delisting bill clears house Natural Resources Committee . ( Wisconsin, Colorado and .. )
Fence Post ^ | Apr 9, 2025 | Rep. Tim Tiffany, R-Wis.,

Posted on 04/10/2025 10:35:12 AM PDT by george76

Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s, R-Colo., legislation to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List and ensure that action is not subject to judicial review passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee. The Pet and Livestock Protection Act will restore authority back to state lawmakers and state wildlife officials to control the gray wolf population. H.R. 845 will now head to the full House of Representatives for a vote.

“The damage to pets, livestock and wildlife from an unmanaged wolf population can no longer be ignored. The gray wolf has exceeded federal and state recovery goals, with over 1,000 wolves now thriving in Wisconsin. It’s time to take the next step, delist them, and let the people closest to the gray wolf manage their population levels,” said Congressman Tiffany.

“I’m very excited to see PALPA take another step towards being signed into law, which will be a huge victory for our ranchers, farmers and landowners in Colorado and across America,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “The science has been very clear on this topic for years: gray wolves are fully recovered and their comeback should be touted as a success story. Now it’s time we encourage states to set their own guidelines and allow ranchers, farmers, and landowners to protect their livelihoods. I look forward to voting for this bill on the House floor and ultimately getting it to President Trump for his signature.”

“The Endangered Species Act was never meant to be a Hotel California where species check in but never leave. Congresswoman Boebert and Congressman Tiffany’s Pet and Livestock Protection Act will allow the recovered gray wolf to check out and return management to the states who know the species best. I thank Ms. Boebert and Mr. Tiffany for their work on this important issue,” said Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman.

“Hunter Nation salutes the House Natural Resources Committee for voting the ‘Pet and Livestock Protection Act’ out of committee, and thanks Congressman Tom Tiffany and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert for their unwavering support of hunters and our hunting lifestyle,” said Keith Mark, president/founder of Hunter Nation. “The delisting of the gray wolf is a policy change we have been fighting for since our founding. The recovery of the gray wolf is an incredible conservation success story that should be celebrated. This legislation allows each state to manage the now recovered wolf population just as they manage all other wildlife within the state. The best part of this legislation is the provision that prevents judicial review of the legislative action which will preclude anti-hunting groups from using activist judges to interfere with sound, science-based conservation.”

In 2020, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delisted the gray wolf in the lower 48 United States through a process that included the best science and data available. At over 6,000 wolves at the time of delisting, the gray wolf has been the latest Endangered Species Act success story with significant population recoveries in the Rocky Mountains and western Great Lakes regions. However, despite ample scientific evidence of the gray wolf’s recovery, a California judge unilaterally relisted the gray wolf under the ESA last year. The Pet and Livestock Protection Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the 2020 Department of the Interior final rule that delisted gray wolves in the lower 48 United States.

Thirty-two members of congress cosponsored Rep. Tiffany and Rep. Boebert’s legislation, including the entire Wisconsin Republican Congressional Delegation.

Stakeholders that support the Pet and Livestock Protection Act include: Hunter Nation, American Farm Bureau Federation, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Public Lands Council, National Rifle Association, Safari Club International, International Order of T. Roosevelt, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, Blacktail Deer Foundation, Colorado Farm Bureau, Colorado Wool Growers, New Mexico Cattle Growers, Minnesota Lamb & Wool Producers Association, Coalition of Arizona/New Mexico Counties, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association, Nebraska Cattlemen, and Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association

Wolves are cute little fur balls, to coastal urbanites who don’t raise farm animals in flyover country.

Attacking family farmers, ranchers, chicken / egg and other food producers will result higher food prices and people starving.

The urban left think that food comes from box or a can. = why do we need farmers ?

I wont bore anyone with details but Ive been spending too much time watching Eewtube.

Im constantly amazed by how over privileged and detached from reality these CUs are. Im sure everyone assumes Im talking about CA or NY but, its the wealthier south east into FL for some reason that are really shocking.

We know that racism has been entirely defeated in FL because there is no end to the number of wealthy firkin wee-Todds of every color posting enragingly moronic videos while proclaiming to the world, “This is what it means to be an Amreican.”

Get rid of the whole ESA...it was never needed in the first place...saving minnows and frogs, owls and darters...is just plain stupid. They're finding "a couple" in a tree in a forest and all of a sudden....since they didn't see a flock...they're endangered and need millions of acres to survive.

Stupid...

“Oh, but they’re so pretty!!” Liberals have never seen what happens to your dog when wolves get hold of her.

Find a judge, any judge who will support this infringement on their God given God-like powers!

The article was here on FR

the dire wolf went super extinct.

Actually, they have revived it - was on TV news the other night - cute fluffy white pups and nice big adults - took 20 bits from Dire Wolf gene and spliced it into a white wolf.

one bite from an adult would either crush your leg or skull, depending on which bit appealed to it.

The article in the Bee was after that article. They trustingly loaned them to Dr Fauci for experiments. They went super extinct.

States should be controlling THEIR lands and all therein and not the federal government.
