Scientists tasked with reviewing government plans to lift protections for gray wolves across most of the U.S. said in a report released Friday that the proposal has numerous factual errors and other problems.
The five-member scientific panel's conclusions were detailed in a 245-page report delivered to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Treves said a chief concern is poaching: Without protections, illegal killings of wolves could rise, he said. Prohibitions on hunting elsewhere have fueled resentment against wolves among livestock owners who must deal with attacks by the predators. Also, some hunters see wolves as competition for big game animals.
Wildlife service spokeswoman Vanessa Kauffman said officials were still going over the scientific report and had no immediate response.
