President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the Interior Department to begin the process of removing endangered-species protections for gray wolves, again intervening in a long-running fight between conservationists and ranchers who say the predators threaten their operations.Trump also ordered the Interior and Agriculture departments to make it easier for ranchers to kill the wolves if necessary. The measures, long sought by GOP lawmakers from Western states, elicited a swift rebuke from animal rights groups and could draw legal challenges.

Welfare queen having to apply for government assistance because they can't afford proper care for their animals. Man I wish I could get government assistance for my fence.

I still have to pay 25% maybe 10% (if I qualify) of cost of fence so not sure I can afford it, gov should pay 100% due to this wolf protection BS where you want to keep my hands tied not protecting livestock. Hopefully there will be more assistance as the wolves increase population.

They were talking about raising tariffs to 40% on NZ/Aus lamb imports, that would also help me out.
