It is concerning that so many individuals have placed blind trust in the very agency that continues to ignore peer-reviewed science and dismiss citizens that dare to question their dubious metrics and propaganda. The same agency that held closed-door meetings with anti-wolf organizations and individuals long after the public comment period ended, while subsequently changing the plan to reflect those meetings.
Wolves, bears and mountain lions have an irreplaceable and complex role in our world. What is distressing to me, is that these species are all quickly losing ground, and when they finally receive the step up they deserve from us, the fringe groups are just waiting for the next opportunity to push them back to the brink of extinction.
Today, the Great Lakes Wildlife Alliance and Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf & Wildlife filed a lawsuit charging that the Wisconsin DNR and NRB infringed on constitutional due process and equal protections along with violations of numerous statutes, regulations, and rules when it adopted the 2023 Wolf Plan and regulations last month. Following successful litigation in the Fall of 2021, GLWA hopes to push the agency in the direction of science-based decision making meant to ensure the long-term sustainability and survival of the Great Lake’s iconic gray wolf populations.
The Wisconsin DNR recently released their updated Wolf Management Plan. As wildlife advocates, scientists, and tribal members that have been engaged in the process for years, scrutinizing both the use of scientific evidence in the plan and the plan's update process, we feel the responsibility to publicly denounce that the process has not been "transparent, deliberative, or inclusive” as stated on the DNR’s website.
The letter explains that the vast majority of the American public has shown time and again that they are supportive of wolf conservation and want science to guide wolf recovery.
Today the US House of Representatives passed HR 6784, the “Manage Our Wolves Act” despite public opposition from constituents, scientists, hunters and business owners.
