2-24 SS Simpson Wolves
Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson is spearheading an effort to undo the August 2010 ruling by Judge Malloy that put wolves back on the endangered species list. The continuing resolution (CR) under consideration by the House of Representatives includes a provision to overturn the court decision and ensure that it does come not before Judge Malloy again.
Congressman Simpson is also an original cosponsor of H.R. 510, the Idaho and Montana Wolf Management Act of 2011, introduced by Montana Representative Denny Rehberg, and H.R. 509, an effort to legislatively de-list wolves.
“Ultimately I support complete delisting of this species, but this provision is a step in the right direction,” said Simpson. “Today the choice is between preventing state management by keeping wolves on the endangered species list and overturning Judge Malloy’s decision so that western states can implement their wolf hunts again, so I will strongly advocate for state management in Idaho.”
