Lawmakers are one step closer to removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list as the “Trust the Science Act” has passed the House of Representatives. Bill co-sponsor Congressman Tom Tiffany says this marks a crucial step towards addressing long standing challenges faced by farmers, hunters, and rural residents across the nation.

Wolves are currently considered threatened in Minnesota and endangered in Wisconsin, Michigan, and 42 other states. But tiffany says, "the science shows Wisconsin’s wolves have been recovered, and it’s time for the management phase of this Endangered Species Act success story."
