Michigan panel weighs wolf hunting if endangered protections get removed
From The Detroit News:
The state’s Natural Resources Commission wants to know more before deciding whether to allow the hunting of gray wolves — if Michigan’s largest predator is taken off the federal endangered species list.
Although protected nationally, the state’s wolf population has stayed stable for the past 12 years. The number ranges between 600 and 700 each year in the Upper Peninsula. Nationally there are about 16,000 wolves.
