Wisconsin Assembly passes bill mandating a wolf population limit

From PBS Wisconsin:

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans sent a bill to Gov. Tony Evers on Jan. 25 that would mandate state wildlife managers set a cap on the state’s wolf population, forcing the governor to choose between pleasing conservationists who want to protect the creatures and farmers who say wolves are destroying their livestock.

The Assembly passed the bill on a voice vote with no debate. The Senate approved it in October. Evers will have to decide whether to sign it into law or veto it. His spokesperson, Britt Cudaback, didn’t immediately respond to a message asking where Evers stands on the proposal.
