week 16

Talks in congress revealed the push for a removal of wolves from the protection of the endangered species list in the Unites States.  The wolves were put on the list after a dramatic decrease in the population size over the last couple of years but now it seems that the population has reached over 1700.  The worries are that the now larger population will result in an increase in livestock attacks.
I think that the wolf shoud still be protected untill it is made clear that they are at no more risk.  If lifestock attacks are what is preventing the population of a species to succeed then better protection methods should be taken.  Do you think that the wolf is over or under protected in its natural environment and should it remain on he endangered species list in the United States?

  1. I agree with Jack. I think the wolves should still be protected. People need to start protecting their livestock better because there is not reason to have the incident more than once. They should be smarter and protect their livestock better.
