Supporters of Wolf De-listing Not Decided on Next Steps
(2008-07-25)
(wpr) - Supporters of the federal government's
removal of gray wolves from the endangered species list say they haven't decided whether to appeal a judge's preliminary decision to re-list the wolves.

Lawyers for the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho and the representatives of several sportsmen's groups met in a
teleconference Friday to discuss their options.

A federal judge in Montana last week issued a preliminary injunction restoring endangered species protections for gray wolves in the Northern Rockies.

Environmentalists sought the injunction as part of a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over the agency's
decision to remove the wolves from the endangered species list in March.
