The federal Interior Department announced Wednesday that the wolves would be removed from the endangered species list in Idaho and Montana. The decision gives those states the responsibility for managing wolves under plans already approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, starting in mid-February.  Click link below for full story!
