No it doesn't and it didn't when the story broke..however, how much do you want to bet that the NRA is involved somehow? Let's get our hunters out there..let's arm them with lots of bullets..let's give them another worthy target! :(

It seems half the wolves are in Idaho alone and they claim they need to 'manage' their population. IN total there are 1500, so half would be about 750. It doesn't make sense how they needed protection one month and then the very next one, they have become a problem, even with very controlled numbers taken and a season. But once you take them off that list, they go under the care of each state that they are in:-(

Yes, it makes sense. Being legal to hunt doesn't mean that people can go shooting them willy nilly, it means that the state where the wolves are living can issue permits for hunting wolves... it is the states responsibility to maintain the wolf population, and especially nowadays, having a thriving wolf population makes sense due to the revenue brought in with tourism and hunting permits...

I don't see what distinction yo are making here. Endangered spacies cannot be hunted, unendangered specieds can me hunted. "Not endangered" means the sam eas "can be hunted". The "endangered" marker should not be take off until it is safe to hunt them - that is what it means. It should not be done until there are a sufficently large number that hunting does not put them at risk. Of course, I am not saying whether it is right or wrong to take that step at this time, just that allowing hunting is what the step means.

Wow, that seems a bit backwards to me...besides, why would a species like that in general ever be ok to hunt? What is the point?

What? And deprive those poor guys the chance to kill something else. Where's your heart man?

It doesn't make sense to me either.
They should be moved up to the Federally Threatened Species list and given a chance to repopulate to a thriving level.

According to what I heard and read, they are NOT ok to hunt. However, ranchers are killing them illegally because they pose a treat (real) to their livestock. You cannot buy a license to hunt them any more that you could when they were on the endangered species list. Being off the list doesn't mean it's ok to hunt them. There's a real problem here that extends to more than wolves. How many wild animals should there be that destroy people's property and livelyhood in order to protect the wild animals?

I think that a species is not taken off of the list when it reaches a minimum, it is usually taken off after the population numbers have grown to a significant buffer.

It just does not make sense to hunt a species that you have just managed to make survive.What is it with these people who want to still go on hunting animals for fun?

You're reading Does it make sense to anyone that Grey Wolves, one day after being taken off the endangered species list, are now okay to hunt? Can't we give them a bit of time before we start their species back on the downward slide?

Sorry for the offensive word but this is one opinion a really disagree with.
by Rollie on March 20th, 2008
That's o.k. and thanks for the "sorry"..you're really a standup person for doing that. No problem..I've been known to say a few "strong" words about some things I feel very strongly about as well. No offense taken, m'dear and Happy Thursday! Thanks again for coming back to this thread. I really appreciate that! :)
