There are growing calls in the U. S. and some Canadian provinces to remove the Gray wolf from the endangered species list.

Earlier, rulings by the courts have forced the Government to once again put the Gray wolves of Idaho and Montana and Great Lake Gray wolves on the list of endangered species. The Government had earlier removed both these species from the list of endangered species in 2008.

Judge Donald Molloy had argued that the Government could not allow the species to be hunted in one state and intends to keep the same species on the list of endangered animals in another state. The ruling earlier this month was pretty similar to the decision given on the Great Lake wolves.

But, many people are working hard to ensure that the animal is taken off from the list of endangered animals. A group of 13 agencies including the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) have renewed calls to delist America's Gray wolves from this list.

A similar proposal has also been introduced in the state of Texas and the bill has been referred to the House Subcommittee on Natural Resources.

On the other hand, farm owners and hunters feel that the increasing number of wolves pose a threat to other wildlife and animals.

Still, many organizations like Defenders of Wildlife and The Humane Society of the United States feel that delisting the animal from the endangered list can put the species in danger.
