CHEYENNE, Wyo. August 31, 2012, 01:36 pm ET CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The federal government is ending protections for wolves in Wyoming.
The announcement Friday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service endorses a plan that allows the wolves to be shot on sight in most parts of the state. It retains protections in certain areas.
The move quickly sparked promises of legal challenges from environmental groups.
