The Manage Our Wolves Act took a step forward in November when it passed the U.S. House of Representatives. If it becomes law, it would lift federal protections for gray wolves in the lower 48 states. That would enable states to make their own regulations concerning wolf hunting. The issue pits farmers and ranchers against wolf conservation groups and some tribes like the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, which has established a wolf sanctuary within their reservation boundaries.
