AR-News: (US MT) Wyoming House ready for wolf battle

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Associated Press 
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - After retreating a day earlier from a possible lawsuit 
against the federal government for its rejection of the state's wolf-management 
plan, the Wyoming House reversed itself again Wednesday and voted to bolster the 
case for a court battle. 
With little debate, representatives voted 44-14 for a bill that aligns state 
law with the now-rejected Game and Fish Commission's management plan for gray 
wolves. Conforming statutes to the plan is seen as a way to strengthen the 
state's hand in a possible suit. 
Before final passage, the House adopted an amendment by Rep. Mick Powers, 
R-Lyman, removing a provision adopted Tuesday requiring the state manage for at 
least 15 wolf packs statewide. The Powers amendment declares that Wyoming will 
manage for no more than seven wolf packs outside Yellowstone and Grand Teton 
national parks, the same as the commission's plan.
