Montana Stockgrowers Statement on Wolf Decision

Errol Rice, executive vice president of the Montana Stockgrowers Association, comments on the August 5, 2010 decision by Judge Donald Molloy to return the Rocky Mountain Gray Wolf to the Endangered Species List. MSGA is disappointed in the decision but focused on efforts to ensure ranchers have the tools they need to protect their cattle from ever-increasing wolf depredations. MSGA is also working to press the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to expedite the process of achieving the successful delisting of wolves.
