The Biden administration on Friday asked an appeals court to revive a Trump-era rule that lifted remaining Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the US

    So the administration is siding with hunting groups and the NRA against basically every environmental group.

    Not a good look, Biden.

      The goal for the Endangered Species Act is to protect endangered species. If they are no longer endangered, then they shouldn’t be listed on there. It really depends on the wolf population. If there are too many, that too can pose a threat.

      I am not nor will I ever be a hunter. The only reason why it should occur is to prevent overpopulation that may wipe out other species.

        Rejecting a policy just because ‘the other side’ is the one who implemented it supports it is bad policy. It’s basically the way the republican party operates in Congress.

          Totally unlike Trump’s remain in Mexico policy that Dems said was inhumane, but said nothing when Biden wanted the same thing. The public only cares WHO does what, not what’s being done.

            Two different things can be different.

            I’m talking about wolves, not immigrants. Are you saying that you’re against removing an animal from the endangered species list because of immigration policy? Because, that’s weird.

              I’m talking about the hypocrisy of both parties, crying that the other team is doing something while ignoring their team doing the same thing.
