MEMORANDUM OPINION
KOLLAR-KOTELLY, District Judge.
The gray wolf (Cams lupus) is classified as an endangered species in the state of Wisconsin and throughout all but one of the remaining coterminous United States. At issue in the instant case is the legality of a lethal depredation control program allowing up to forty-three endangered wolves to be killed in Wisconsin pursuant to a permit issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) with the purpose of fostering greater social tolerance for wolves.
Plaintiffs The Humane Society of the United States, Animal Protection Institute,…
