Baucus Statement on Proposed Settlement Of Gray Wolf Lawsuit
Statement
Issues: Animals and Wildlife
Montana's senior U.S. Senator Max Baucus today released the following statement on the Department of the Interior's proposed settlement over a Federal District Court's 2010 decision to reinstate Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains.
"I'm for any plan that will put wolves back under Montana's control, where they belong," said Baucus. "'I've pushed Secretary Salazar and the Department of Interior to resolve this issue-- and I'm pleased they're responding. This is a step in the right direction. But the fight isn't over, and I won't stop until we find a common-sense solution to Montana's wolf problem that brings certainty to our rachers, famers and hunters."
