so much for states rights

They need to in Wyoming, they are getting out of hand. When you see 15-16 of them in one day and groups of 6 running together, it's time to start management

They want them everywhere,yet there isn't the habitat or travel zones to do so.In 1975 they said there where 150.In MT,ID,WYO,they say there's 1700.NWMT where I live 1000.73 killed in Great Yellowstone in 2024,and they don't think there's enough.

I REALLY hate to say it, but with how the Endangered Species Act has been politicized it needs to be scrapped.
The original 1992 wolf agreement was 100-200 wolves "outside of Minnesota". There are now estimated to be 4400 in the region.
The Libs say "that original document is outdated."
Yep, and so is the ESA.

President Trump, please scrap it at the first available opportunity!
Just imagine- maybe we could even start LOGGING again instead of having entire mountainsides BURN!?

Looks like the Governor and Senator are gonna lean on the Trump admin over this issue and WY will join in. Don't be over-lookin' Trump rewarding WY for kickin that wacko Cheney to the curb. I wouldn't be surprised to see ol' Griz delisted, under authority of a revised analytic criteria, in a year or few. The new Secretary of Interior likely holds some substantial sway over issues such as this.

I'd like to see NEPA go away as well.

Dumb question. If states can ignore federal law on marijuana why can't they just ignore it on grizzlies? Seems logical to me.

 

[MtPockets]

I think, at minimum, the Rs need to legislatively delist the wolves and Grizzlies.
Unfortunately, the problem is so much deeper that, realistically, the ESA just needs to go.

Because the DOJ gets to choose what they'll prosecute. Who will pay attention to another marijuana prosecution? However, how many antifa will march on Federal Court demanding a bear killer get the max sentence and probably want the death penalty?

Funny thing the choosing. I'm sure a lot of these big cities were once home to the grizz and wolves. Maybe they just need to go home again.

That'll learn 'em durn 'em

The original population goal was 500 animals, which was met over 20 years ago.

What more needs to be said?

I like the way you think
