Groups Challenge Wolf Delisting, Point to Lack of Scientific Evidence

CHEYENNE, Wyoming. — Western wolf advocates have filed official notice of their intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over its decision to strip gray wolves of federal protections.

Kelly Nokes, attorney for the Western Environmental Law Center said wolves do not even inhabit 20% of their historic range, which is not true recovery under the Endangered Species Act, and a clear violation of the law.
