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.

“This is a dark day for wolves and for all species relying on federal protections for their survival,” said Kierán Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity. “Senator Tester included the rider as a ploy to score political points in his 2012 reelection campaign, and now wolves and other species will have to pay the price.”

The Center for B.S. Diversity released this statement Feb 02:

"The goal of providing ESA protections would have been to prevent “states like Idaho, Montana and Wyoming from allowing the widespread killings of wolves,” according to the Center for Biological Diversity, which co-sponsored one of the two petitions.

“By denying protections to these beautiful creatures the Service is letting northern Rockies states continue erasing decades of recovery efforts,” Kristine Akland, a program director for the center, said in a statement.

In Idaho, for example, the state can hire private contractors to kill wolves, while also letting hunters target an unlimited number of animals year-round, the conservation group noted.

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."

Rocky Mountain gray wolves won’t get endangered species protections

Gray wolves that inhabit the Northern Rocky Mountains will not receive protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced Friday. In making this …

Need some reform on this stuff. CBD basically just files lawsuits against the government and settles to collect the fees. I doubt the group has saved an acre for threatened and endangered species. The leadership group seems to operate grift on a level even the orange guy would be proud of. A lot of the big donations come from outside the US.

Nah, business and land owners get first look.

They use the lawyers; show me the man, and I'll find you a crime. Once their enemies are purged, then they shoot the lawyers.

Feeling a little down tonight. We have two 80 year olds running for office, one senile, with deep ties to China, lots of hidden corps, who has a completely open border, the other, becoming senile, and relying on campaign funds to pay legal bills, with no chance to win, and a 60s liberal who will destroy the energy industry, and believes if you give people money everything will be OK (hello Great Society), but otherwise has a few good ideas.

Oh well, Joni did win a Grammy, so there's that.

And the guy that wrote their playbook is now a CPW commissioner...

Absolutely. And now CBD has two seats on the commission...... By the time Polis leaves office CBD will have a full blown majority on the commission.
