Give Grey Wolves their Status Back

There has been a petition going around concerning the Grey Wolves in Oregon. Their Endangered Species Status has been removed due to their numbers increasing. The actions of ranchers and poachers has caused these wolves to go extinct in the first place and now because they have been taken off of the Endangered Species list, they are in danger again. In Wisconsin, a similar problem occurred, meaning that the wolves in Wisconsin were removed from the Endangered Species list because there were sustainable numbers of wolves. The petition shared states,"Conservationists in Wisconsin have estimated that around 44 percent of Wisconsin wolves aged seven months or older died each year after their protection ended in 2012."

Wolves are one of my favorite wildlife animals. Taking them off of the list can be dangerous for them because the ranchers and poachers can start hunting them again, which would then cause them to end up on the list again. They could be victims of an accident as well. There is no need to remove the Grey Wolves off of the Endangered Species list because they are still in danger to many threats around them. If you feel the same as I do, please sign the petition in the link above. Let's help these beautiful creatures keep their protection status.
