Should the gray wolf be taken off the endangered species list?
It's already happening, but from the article I just read the population of gray wolves is barely over 1000 in any one state. To me this doesn't sound like a large enough population to say the species has recovered - I admit I am fairly ignorant about what is a sustainable population though.
What would you consider a reasonable population level to say the species will continue to survive, and do you think it makes sense to allow people to hunt gray wolves.

No, they should not be taken off the endangered species list...you're right, their populations are WAY too low to survive trophy hunting season! I can't believe that they would delist them, usually takes YEARS of research and study to decide to de-list an animal from the list...seems like they are being very hasty with this decision. Sounds like a huge mistake that needs to be reconsidered after more research is done.

Wrong. It is not President Obama's order that the gray wolf be de-listed, that was Bush's doing. Yes, Obama is environmentally sensitive. Seems you have an issue with politics more so that endangered animals.

In Idaho they are already considering taking them off the list and hunting most of them out and leaving like a 100 left!

Selective enforcement is the practical answer. If they are over-populated and damaging livestock beyond what can be sustained, there must be an intervention.
