WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRN) — A bill to delist the gray wolf in Wisconsin has passed the U.S. House.

The legislation, introduced by Republican Congressman and candidate for governor Tom Tiffany, delists the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act, prevents endless lawfare from overturning the decision and restores authority to state lawmakers and wildlife officials to responsibly manage gray wolf populations.

The Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association applauded the passage, saying it marks a step forward to protect the state’s cattle population. The bill now heads to the U.S. Senate.
