Delisting Gray Wolves Sent to Senate; ESA Reform Heads to House Floor
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the long-awaited wolf delisting legislation by a vote of 211 to 204 yesterday, December 18. On a related note, the House Natural Resources Committee sent badly needed ESA reform legislation to the full House for consideration earlier this week.
As previously reported, these bills will benefit sportsmen across the country, and the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation applauds Congress for taking on these issues.
