Gray Wolf Removed From Oregon Endangered Species List

(Salem, OR)  --  The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission says the gray wolf has been removed from the state's endangered species list.  "The Oregonian" reports that while the announcement doesn't change much about current wolf management, it could pave the way for the possibility of a controlled wolf hunt in the future.  The Fish & Wildlife staff has been directed to work with the Legislature to consider a bill to change the statute that includes the gray wolf on the endangered species list.  Activists say they may sue over the decision, contending the science behind it didn't undergo an adequate peer review.
