On this issue I beleive they did the right thing by recending the bush law.
in my 46 years I have seen only one bobcat. one greay wolf, and one mountian lion (cougar/panther) in the wild. and both of them in areas where biologist sware they are none. and I say "OK" and dont push the matter, they dont bother me, I dont bother them.
the fact of the matter is you have more to fear from your neighbors house cat than you do anything else. they go in the wild every day, they get bit and eat infectous animals, they cary bugs back in to the house or to you if they rub up aginst you. (lice, ticks, fleas, mites, head lice, pinkeye, distemper and rabies among others)
where as local governments demand your dog be licened with papers for 5 different vactinations, a house cat goes uncheck.....
wolves are not like your neighbors rotwhiler that will come in and kill a flock of chickens for kicks, a wolf takes one animal and will feed on it for days. (I just used rotwilers only as an example there are a number of domestic dogs that will do the same damage as a wolf and worse. they will come back day after day for the pleasure of killing. I have seen this first hand)
The peoples of each local states should have the last say when it comes time to say when a particular species has recovered.
Trapping of greay wolves has restarted in upper michigan only for siencetific perpous. to see what it is eating, where it is living, what water holes it is drinking from and genneral health.
If you get a greay wolf in a cyote trap, be ready to sacrifice your coat to realeace the animal. Or carry a capture and release bag to place over the wolf head so that it can be handled.
I hate to see any president flexing his musscles in this mannor, it dosnt matter who it is or what political denomination it reminds me of the nightmare stories of King Henery the 8th and King George.
These dicisions should be based on sicence and not political boundry lines.
On one last note, those grey wolves that do take domestic animals are captured easily tethered and removed to remote areas, and should that animal return it is uthinized by biologist (killed)
