H.R. 845 delists the gray wolf across the United States and blocks judicial review of the delisting. This is an antiscience bill that prioritizes politics ahead of species conservation. This bill will result in hundreds of unnecessary and indiscriminate wolf kills while doing very little to address the legitimate conflicts between some wolves and livestock. I will work with anyone on addressing those legitimate conflicts. We have tools and funding available to address those concerns--not enough, but we have those--without undermining the progress we have made to recover this iconic species. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on H.R. 845.
