WOLVES WIN!

Endangered gray wolves will remain protected after some members of Congress failed in their attempt to use the government spending bill to remove Endangered Species Act protections last night.

This is incredibly good news for the gray wolf, which is just now starting to make a comeback across the United States where it used to roam freely. We cannot stress enough that all of you who made phone calls, signed our petitions and tweeted at your members of congress are responsible for this major win.

The endangered gray wolves thank you!

From EarthJustice:

Wolves in Wyoming, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin will retain their federal protections after a contentious policy “rider” that would have stripped them of Endangered Species Act protections was excluded from the final omnibus government spending bill released last night. The rider would have overridden two federal court decisions (including an Earthjustice victory for wolves in Wyoming) that found those states’ management plans do not sufficiently protect wolves, while also barring further judicial review of the court decision overrides.
