Hey everybody!
Great news! Gray Wolves are off the endangered species list. Their population has grown. About 5,000 living in the wild now! The beautiful creatures will remain on Earth. Bad thing is the federal government is going to stop prtecting them so they can get hunted
Let me say one thing:
Gray Wolves are beautiful creatures. They will never hurt anybody unless you hurt them. They may have a bad reputation but does that matter? NO! Protect the creatures of this Earth and STOP HUNTING!

~CONGRATS GRAY WOLVES~

That's great news! Although I'm happy their population has grown, like you mentioned they will be able to be hunted. They are such beautiful creatures and should not be killed in such high numbers as happened before when they were put on the list.

I have mixed feelings about this news, because it will basically be a free-for-all for hunters...and then we'll be back to where we started after the hunters kill them all again
Wolves are definitely very misunderstood, and I find it strange how there's more animosity surrounding wolves than there is for bears, mountain lions, and other predators. There is not a single documented case in American history of a healthy wolf attacking a human being...whereas there have been attacks on humans by bears, tigers, mountain lions and even elephants...interesting, huh?

I'm glad that the wolves are making a comeback. I just hope it continues.

I think the problem for the wolves isn't that they attack people, but that they attack livestock. It's the economic loss to ranchers that gets the wolves in trouble. I was also very happy & somewhat surprised to hear about this. Yeah for the wolves! Lets keep paws crossed this doesn't mean "open season" on wolves now.

YAY!

Altho to me for some reason 5,000 does not seem like enough.
