A bill is moving through the House of Representatives that would delist wolves from the Endangered Species Act, and it just passed out of a key committee in the House.
The bill is sponsored by Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin’s Seventh District and gained approval from the House Natural Resources Committee. Tiffany introduced a similar bill last year but says he is much more confident about its chances of passing this year now that Republicans control the House, Senate, and the presidency. The bill is called the “Pet and Livestock Protection Acy” and will now head to the full House for a vote. Tiffany said in a press release that he’s excited about clearing the first hurdle in getting it before the House.
Bill supporters include several of America’s leading agricultural groups and individuals, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the Public Land Council, and others.
