Trump moves to allow ranchers and hunters to kill gray wolves

President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to consider removing gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act. The order tasks Interior Secretary Doug Burgum with determining within three months if these species have recovered sufficiently to be de-listed. This move aims to potentially allow ranchers and hunters to kill gray wolves, intensifying the ongoing conflict between conservationists and those seeking easier authorization for the killing of these animals.
