Judge rules wolf recovery program illegal in northern Rockies
U S District Judge William Downes ruled the wolf reintroduction plan illegal and ordered removal of Yellowstone and central Idaho wolves. He said the program improperly downgraded Endangered Species protections for native Montana and Canadian wolves wandering into the area. The ruling affects 66 transplanted wolves and their offspring, prompting potential appeal by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
