Climate change a factor in trimming of wolf season
From Hungry Horse News:
U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy Nov. 21 issued a preliminary junction that significantly shortens Montana’s wolf trapping season by several weeks. Climate change played a role in his decision.
The wolf trapping season under state law was set to begin as early as Monday (Nov. 27), but two environmental groups, the Flathead-Lolo-Bitterroot Task Force and Wildearth Guardians sued the state of Montana in federal court, claiming the regulations could result in grizzly bears being caught in wolf traps.
