Should Obama take the Grey Wolf off the endangered speices list?
The EPA is moving under Obama to de-list the Grey wolf everywhere except WY. So is he really that environmentally sensitive?

Are you not aware that he just strengthened the Endangered Species Act. He overturned the decision George Bush make to weaken it right before he left office.

Your 'points' don't make any sense. "If hunters stopped killing deer and rabbit, then grey wolves would not starve." The environment, no matter where, can ONLY sustain a certain number of animals. If there are more deer and other prey animals, that means less room, less food, sicker animals, and that in turn will greatly affect the wolf population, in a bad way. With over population, then the chance for disease is greater and once some diseases get a good 'hold' on an animal population, it can destroy that population and it can be transmitted VERY VERY easily. "Animals were doing fine before Europeans with guns came here." You are NOT native here most likely, same with the rest of us, we are a mix if cultures, and they came over here. Do you even know how much good hunters have done for the environment? Grow up and get an education, and don't let other people make your mind up for you. God gave YOU a brain for YOU to use.

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.

Noo!! Defintitely not. People say that they aren't endangered anymore, but they will go back to be endangered if they are taken off the list. There really aren't many wolves left as there should be, that's why they need to stay on the list.

if he does, they will be hunted again until they have to be placed right back on the endangered species list. And when people say that elk populations decrease, it is not true...only 4% of herd depredation is because of wolves....

Absolutely not. It's obviously a stupid thing to do, just look at who wants to do it, Palin and Bush for instance. Anyone who answers yes to this question is just proving they're as stupid as a woman who doesn't know Africa exists.

I think he should put the Green Wolf on the list ! ! ! When is the last time you saw a green wolf ? I rest my case.
