Montana debates trapping of threatened wolverines

THREATENED SPECIES — Montana is taking a controversial stand on trapping of wolverines.

Montana FWP says it will oppose federal protection of wolverines

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to propose listing the wolverine as a threatened species next week, a decision that Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials said they’ll oppose because the state has a healthy population of the elusive member of the weasel family.
