FISH AND WILDLIFE EXTENDS COMMENT PERIOD FOR GRAY WOLF DE-LISTING –

Farmers and ranchers have 60 additional days to comment on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposal to take the gray wolf off the endangered species list. With 5,000-plus gray wolves in the U.S., the species’ population numbers surpass recovery targets set by the Endangered Species Act. AFBF President Zippy Duvall called the proposal “a triumph of common sense we all should herald as a conservation success story.” (Farm Bureau)
