Utah’s money will be used to rally hunters in Midwestern states where wolves still roam wild to get more politically engaged, especially on the issue of “predator management.”
FILE - This July 16, 2004, file photo, shows a gray wolf at the Wildlife Science Center in Forest Lake, Minn. Wisconsin wildlife officials opened an abbreviated wolf season Monday, Feb. 22, 2021, complying with a court order to start the hunt immediately rather than wait until November. The hunt will run through Sunday, Feb. 28 across six management zones.
The $500,000 appropriation is just the most recent gift the Legislature has handed to anti-wolf activists. These handouts have long annoyed wildlife advocates who see them as a waste of resources better spent figuring out how to live in harmony with wolves, a native predator that was eradicated a century ago.
While the wolf enjoyed protected status four years ago, the Legislature last awarded BGF $2 million to fund its lobbying efforts. Since then, the Trump administration removed wolves from the endangered list, which for a while allowed Utah to “manage” wolves within its borders. During this period no wolves took up residence in Utah, but a federal judge in California last year ordered the predator back under federal protection.
Robinson said this claim is “demonstrably false.” Wolves certainly kill big game, which they co-evolved with for thousands of years, but no peer-reviewed science has found wolves destroy ungulate herds. In reality, Robinson said, wolves once occupied an important role in the West’s ecosystems, which could benefit from their return.
