Tom Tiffany Trying to Remove Gray Wolves From Endangered Species List

Tuesday, February 4th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany is again trying to remove gray wolves from the Endangered Species List.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the Seventh District Republican has introduced the Pet and Livestock Protection Act, which is nearly identical to the Trust the Science Act from last session.

The bipartisan bill passed the House last session but not the US Senate, where Tiffany is optimistic it can get through this time. Tiffany said it’s important to pass the measure, as wolf depredations have increased the past several years.

In 2024 the DNR recorded 84 cases of confirmed or probable wolf depredations, mostly on livestock, up from 69 in 2023 and 49 in 2022. Thirty cosponsors include Wisconsin Republicans Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden and Tony Wied.
