On the recordDecember 18, 2025
I acknowledge that wolf-livestock conflicts do happen and that ranchers deserve support when there is a wolf problem. We already have tools that work to address these conflicts, but this bill does nothing to improve them or to help our ranchers. H.R. 845 has no funding for conflict mitigation, no support for nonlethal deterrents, and no additional compensation for losses. If we want to delist wolves responsibly, then we need to give Fish and Wildlife Service the resources and direction it needs to work collaboratively, respond to science, and invest in conflict prevention.
