US wolves 'no longer endangered' (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Wolves are being removed from the endangered species list in three US states - and wildlife authorities say they plan to do the same in three more.

The move paves the way for the hunting of wolves in the US for the first time in more than 30 years.

The Fish and Wildlife Service said the Mid-West states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin would be removed from the list within weeks.

The states of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming could be removed in a year.

Wolves were hunted to near-extinction in the US before being classified as endangered in 1974.
