-Congressman Tom Tiffany
Today, legislation that Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) introduced alongside Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) received its first hearing in the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries. H.R. 746, the Trust the Science Act, would permanently remove the gray wolf from the list of federal endangered species.
“For too long, the Endangered Species Act has been a statutory ‘Hotel California,’ where radical environmental groups and judges check animals into the Endangered Species List – but never let them leave,”said Congressman Tiffany.“The gray wolf is a true recovery success story, and it’s past time to celebrate this accomplishment by removing them from the Endangered Species List and restoring control back to those who know our state’s wolf population best: Wisconsinites.”
In 2020, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delisted the gray wolf in the lower 48 United States through a process that included science and data available. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COMMENTS AND DEBATE.
