Taking Wolves Off the Endangerd Species List

So I recently read that hunting wolves has now become legal in Idaho because they have been removed from the endangered species list. Although they are still on the list in Wyoming, it doesn't seem right that they can be hunted. It's amazing that after eight decades of being on the endangered species list, they have managed to grow enough to be off the list. And yeah, so what if their packs are getting big? It's good to see, rather than dwindling packs. I understand that it's just an approach to try and control the population, but what happens when hunters gets carried away again and wolves are driven to extinction?

Hunters in Idaho began stalking gray wolves in a handful of districts in the central and northern mountains. Shortly after dawn, an Idaho real estate agent became the first to report a kill.

Obviously, the hunters are only too eager to begin to hunt wolves in Idaho. So it can only be inevitable that the poor wolves will have to hide in fear of a Colt 45. Well, of course they do have the advantage of knowing the terrain much better than the hunters, but still. But is this open season of wolves going to come to and end once again?

The creatures were once abundant across North America, but by the 1930s had been largely exterminated outside Alaska and Canada.

About 300 wolves in Wyoming are still under federal protection

I hope that wolves stay on that protected list, because I do not want to find out that the U.S. has become like the outside of Alaska and Canada: Wolfless. I also hope that Idaho, and Montana hunters are only hunting the wolves to keep the population under control, not just for personal gain. It would be a shame if after all the efforts that went into getting the wolves back to the way they were, we just kept hunting them and caused them to be extinct. All I know is if I was a wolf, I would run as fast as I can to get over that damn Idaho-Wyoming border and into safety.
