Wolf Hunting Science and Politics

Michigan voters rejected two state laws last week to allow a wolf hunt in parts of the Upper Peninsula. But those votes are seen as symbolic. 

State lawmakers approved a citizen-initiated law that paves the way for a wolf hunt again next year. The co-founder of the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota Nancy Gibson says science should dictate policies related to hunting wolves in Michigan and other states.
