For all the wolf lovers out there, good news and bad news...
Good news: gray wolves in Minnesota, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana have now reached population sizes that they no longer need federal protection.
Bad news: starting today they will be allowed to be hunted again.

I am involved with an organization called Defenders of Wildlife and have been writing petitions and signing pledges for almost two years now to keep the federal regulations in place for endangered animals... especially my beloved wolf (all three subspecies) which is a vital part of the ecosystem as an apex predator. I know that there are a number of environmental groups that are going to be suing the government to keep those regulations in place.
I find it interesting that 4 out of my 7 favorite animals are on the endangered species list.
If you have the same desire to see all animals free to live and roam in their natural habitats then find an organization or click here to join the Defenders!
