End all federal protection of wolves -- Rep. Newhouse
All federal endangered species protection for the gray wolf would end under legislation announced Thursday by U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., and conservative cosponsor, Rep,. Sean Duffy, R-Wisconsin.
Newhouse, who represents Central Washington in Congress, is emerging as one of the West's leading critics of federal wildlife protection. He has become the state delegation's Dr. Dolittle-in-reverse.
He sponsored language in a House appropriations bill that would deny the U.S. Department of the Interior any money to bring back grizzly bears in the North Cascades. He has vociferously opposed spilling water from Columbia and Snake river dams, to speed migration of young salmon to the Pacific.
Using Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as reference, Newhouse claims "the gray wolf is not endangered and no longer warrants its federal endangered species protection."

In other words Newhouse is basically a jackass.
