Trump Again Seeks to Remove Protections for Wolves
The order directs federal agencies to consider delisting wolves and to update compensation rules for livestock losses, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump signed executive orders directing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to review gray and Mexican wolf protections for potential delisting while establishing mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef products.
- The administration seeks to appease cattle ranchers frustrated by recent beef import policies that disrupted the industry; critics contend the move represents political damage control rather than genuine relief.
- Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stated the administration aims to equip farmers against "dangerous predators," while conservationist Michael Robinson argued weakening protections for the Mexican gray wolf is "cruel" and legally unsound.
- Hunter Nation founder Keith Mark praised the order as a return to "common sense," while conservation groups threatened court challenges, citing past Endangered Species Act legal victories.
- Burgum has 90 days to determine whether wolf populations meet recovery criteria, a timeline that could authorize lethal management if the Interior Department proceeds with delisting or downlisting the species.
