Wolfs May come off the Endangered Species List

I read this article the other day about how the number in wolf packs is increasing, and they might just come off the endangered species list. The article stated that the wolf population has been growing 20-30% each year. This worried some ranchers, as they were seeing wolf tracks almost every day, which could threaten their cattle. It is okay for a rancher to kill a wolf only if they are threatining their livestock.

I think lifting the wolves off of the endangered species list would let them have a "liscense to kill" and the ranchers may go overboard with hunting. It might plop the wolves Right back on the endangered species list. I think they should wait until the wolves are well into not being endangered so if hunters go overboard, the wolves won't be nearly wiped out again.
