Congress in the USA have decreed that the wolves of Montana and Idaho will be removed from the list of endangered species. Normally, this would be positive news. It would, of course, be positive to be able to say these wolves are not endangered anymore. However, environmental groups critizises the decree. They are stating that this sets a dangerous precedent by letting Congress, rather than a federal agency which makes its decisions based on science, remove the protection granted to endangered species.
I do hope Congress knows what it is doing, but I fear the worst. If you take wolves away from a list of endangered species, I believe your decision must be based on science. Is Congress' decision based on science, or is it just politics?
