TAKE
GRAY WOLVES OF ENDANGERS SPECIES, FARMERS REQUESTED.
The Minnesota Farmers Union is hoping to get gray wolves taken
off the endangered species list.
The union is asking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
Department of the Interior to appeal the recent court decision that put the
wolves back on the list in Great Lakes states.
Department of Natural Resources spokesman Chris Niskanen says
the decision means farmers and ranchers concerned about wolves preying on
cattle can't kill the wolves themselves. Instead, they should call conservation
officers. The decision also put the brakes on wolf hunting.
The union president says the recent decision leaves Minnesota
farmers with few options in dealing with a predator that impacts their
livestock.
