U.S. delays easing wolf protections
Billings, Montana - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has delayed plans to drop federal protection for gray wolves in parts of the West, saying yesterday that Wyoming had failed to submit an adequate plan for protecting the animals if the federal government steps aside.
Gray wolves, once hunted and trapped nearly to extinction, have made a remarkable comeback since being reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas in the 1990s.
