California gray wolves will now retain their protected status even if the population rises to 50 or more:
The California gray wolves will keep their endangered species protections even once the rebounding animal hits a population of at least 50, state wildlife officials said Wednesday.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife published its plan for managing wolves late Tuesday, setting its policy for the species that is making a comeback to the state after it was killed off in the 1920s.
"Wolves returning to the state was inevitable," said Charlton Bonham, director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in a statement. "It's an exciting ecological story, and this plan represents the path forward to manage wolves."
The plan marks a shift in course, dropping language from an earlier draft that directed officials to remove wolves from the list of animals protected once they reached the critical mass.
Wolves in California were hunted to extinction nearly a century ago, but a lone wolf called OR-7 crossed the northern border from Oregon in 2011. OR-7 and his mate have had a litter for each of the last three years, and cameras caught another family pack in Northern California, but it hasn't been spotted in several months, wildlife advocates say. Officials say it's hard to say how many wolves roam the state today, but their numbers remain small.

when i'm looking at gun stuff on youtube i keep seeing people talking about killing coyotes and what not. i think that the next time i get a chance to go on a real hunting trip i might hunt coyote hunters. you stupid fucks deserve it more than the coyotes and wolves. killing for food is one thing. killing because you're a lazy, cheap, idiot is another.

Hi there, I'm Clippy!
I see you're attempting to have an impassioned rant. Let me help!
You start out with an indication of considering felonies. Good call - this isn't an actual specific proposal that could get you indicted, although you might be on a watchlist. Livin' on the edge!
You create a false dichotomy between hunting for food and being "a lazy, cheap, idiot". You seem to ignore people who hunt for fur, for ecological balance, for varmint control or to piss you off as well as people like you.
Try including a better selection of explanations to attack, and watch your little tantrum expand into a true rant!
