Cue up the litigation . . .
And the eco-enviro $ coffers.
Great title for their next internationally solicited, city slicker fliers... "Woofs loose their safety from "Trophy Hunters" under Biden Administration in 2025!" Even though that is not the reality -
That is their reality.
IMO, great on the Biden Administration for
currently letting this proceed though Elections is are the horizon... No better time than now to try to stop this strategy plan before a possible Republican Executive Administration enters the scene.
I recall how the Center for B.S. Diversity flayed Jon Tester for his hand in sliding the MT/ID little piece into the DOD bill... Hah! Simpson, Republican? Not nearly, though Tester, Democrat... They ripped into him, all for propaganda.

Montana wolf trappers can use night-vision scopes on private land, strangulation snares on both public and private property and bait to lure the animals, according to the group.
And across most of Wyoming, gray wolves are considered predatory animals and can therefore be killed at any time without a license, the petitioners added.
“
We won’t stand idly by and watch as Northern Rockies wolves are slaughtered year after year,” Akland said. “Wolves are an invaluable part of their ecosystems and deserve strong federal protections.”
The Center for Biological Diversity said it is considering taking legal action against the FWS’s denial of the listing petition."
