HR 845 - The Pet and Livestock Act

Congress is considering H.R. 845, a reckless bill that would remove Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states — despite clear scientific evidence that wolves are still at risk. Worse, this bill would block judicial review, preventing citizens from challenging this harmful decision in court.


Below are part of the comments submitted to the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries, today March 25, 2025.

"As a concerned citizen pertaining to our natural world, our organization is very much concerned over the politicalization of our Nation’s wildlife. The Gallatin Wildlife Association of Bozeman, Montana is an advocate for the betterment of wildlife and their respective habitat in and around the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). Sitting before you now is a piece of legislation, H.R. 845 entitled “The Pet and Livestock Protection Act”. This bill is misnamed and isn’t fooling anyone. Our organization strongly urges that this committee oppose this bill. This bill would end federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for gray wolves across the entire lower 48 states.


We have arrived on that wildlife management spectrum where science and morality intersect. This Nation needs to listen to both in their hearts and minds in order to make the best decisions possible as we move into the future. People in the states of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are tired of witnessing and learning about the atrocious behavior of trophy hunters and trappers as they have already slaughtered thousands of wolves by various brutal and unethical means, including within Wilderness areas and along the border of Yellowstone National Park.


We urge that science, morality, and proper judicial review and process be considered. Therefore, we ask that each committee member oppose H.R. 845."


H.R. 471 - It's Time to Foil

 'Fix the Forests Act'

LOOK HERE

"Fix our Forests Act", H.R. 471 has returned into the new Legislative Session of the 119th Congress. This bill has passed the House of Representatives with broad support and is now headed over to the Senate. It is a horrible piece of legislation, one that is the antithesis of what the name implies. 


To learn more about this act, read THE HILL article found here. The article is a little dated and was written in the previous legislative session, the 118th Congress, but the gist of the bill is still the same.


We need to write Senator Sheehy and Daines not to vote for this legislation.


From EarthJustice: Earthjustice Senior Legislative Representative Blaine Miller-McFeeley


“We certainly want to protect communities from wildfires, but this bill is not the answer. Instead of providing impacted communities with the proven tools and techniques they need to keep themselves safe, this bill is nothing more than a trojan horse for gutting bedrock environmental laws dressed up under the more palatable guise of wildfire management. True forest management requires engaging communities and utilizing proven best practices, not opening our lands to more reckless logging operations. We urge the Senate to reject this bill.” 
S. 1276 - Northern Rockies 
Ecosystem Protection Act

People, we need to get our Congressional Delegation involved in the support of this bill. Please write Senator Sheehy and Senator Daines to support this bill.

For status of the legislation: LOOK HERE


Not only does this legislation attack the integrity of our forests, it also diminishes our voice by removing opportunities to question authority and removing environmental reviews.
