There are many more article here, and even more that I have to add yet.

First listed on the federal endangered species act in 1974, wolf recovery has been an amazing success story.  Unfortunately, many fail to recognize that success and have fought to maintain their protective status, taking valuable resources away from other endangered species.

With roadblock after roadblock, it may require Congressional action to remove wolves from the endangered species act and return them to state management. It’s a shame it has come to that.
