By taking this action, President Obama has saved some lives. It's estimated that as many as two-thirds of the gray wolf population would have been affected by the plan—meaning that 1,000 out of almost 1,500 wolves would have been in deep trouble.
Bravo, Mr. President!

WOOT! As a hardcore wolf lover, this makes me happy to know. Congrats Mr. Prez! I'm glad to hear that our new president is already looking out for these wonderful creatures ^-^ Lets hope they stay protected! (Now he should work on protecting any other endangered animals :D).

thanks Obama, Bush has really undo a lot of protection for the environment and animals. We have a lot of damages to undo. Unfortunately, we can't bring back all those animals killed unnecessary.

Awesome,Go Obama!
Wolves are my fav animals.
Posted by: Austin | January 27, 2009 10:07 AM
I'm pleasantly surprised, at the very least that Pres. Obama has suspended the plans to slaughter these precious lives. I have been enamored with wolves from a very young age. I've shared my life with 2 of these amazing creatures. Obama appears to be what Palin is not, thank God, a good person with a loving heart and soul towards animals. If all the wolves are killed, then what's next? How many are next until we humans are the only beings left on the planet. Then what will come of us? The animals are God's own, and we are their caretakers.

This is a spit in the eye to Sarah Palin. Good for you President Obama. I know you care a heck of a lot more about animals than that cruel, sadistic, animal butcher, Sarah Palin!
Posted by: Rex's Mom | January 27, 2009 02:09 PM
It really doesn't take much to make Animal Rights people happy!Save wolves, save belugas, save polar bears,etc,etc. Be the President of Compassion and Protection! t
Thanks for helping wolves dodge the bullet!

President Obama, you amaze me. Thank you for doing this for the wolves.
Posted by: erika | January 27, 2009 08:21 PM
Thank-you Obama for being a good man, who values and respects life. I trust that being the man that you are and who America voted for because of your enormous integrity, goodness,intelligence, and capacity, that you will permanently suspend the plan to remove these beautiful creatures from our lives! They are living beings who deserve to live just as much as humans do! THANK-YOU!

YES! What a huge relief! I have been so worried about this, thank goodness President Obama acted so swiftly on behalf of these wolves!

yay, now i officially support obama
GO BARACK OBAMA!
Posted by: Stormwolf R | January 30, 2009 06:30 PM
Sadly, he did not cancel it, this was just part of a sweeping order to suspend Bush last-minute orders.
Ken Salazar, new head of the DOI, is a rancher who threatened to sue when they tried to list the black-tailed prairie dog.
Obama's new admin is not going to protect endangered species. Just watch.
Posted by: Ellie | January 31, 2009 02:07 PM
He is so wonderful.
Posted by: Aislinn | February 5, 2009 05:30 PM
I don't trust Sour Sarah one darn bit...any human being who can stand so nonchalantly in front of a horrible view of a worker shoving a turkey's head into a cone-shaped grinder to kill it (while *she* is spouting some of her typical nonsense) is not my idea of a decent human being !!
It also takes a mighty macho "hunter" to shoot helpless tiny pups in their den while their parents are hunting for food -- What is the matter with humans who enjoy that kind of horror??? Sick.
Thank goodness we have a president (finally!) with a sense of compassion and respect for animals.
Posted by: Lorraine O'Connor | February 5, 2009 05:51 PM
Can we have an Obama in England please, he seeems to be saying all the right things. Maybe next he could rethink his stance on the hunting of whales by countries such as Japan!
Posted by: simone | February 5, 2009 06:32 PM
Hopefully, President Obama will not allow the removal of wolves and other animals from the Endangered Species List. All life forms are important.
Posted by: Carla | February 5, 2009 11:54 PM
ONE WORD , BRAVO
Thank you for your deep compassion for animal worlwide.

I knew Barack was a wonderful man when I first heard him speak @ the 2004 DEM convention!!!!...Leila Hooser RN

While the comment that Obama was merely cancelling some of Bush's last minute orders may be true, it does give him time to become educated and take a stance that makes more sense. He says he wants his daughters to be able to make as much money as the next person, hopefully he will want his daughters to inherit a better earth than he did. We have to start somewhere and pray he makes the correct decisions.

Obama is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Brenda | February 6, 2009 08:00 AM
If wolf populations get so huge that they have to kill them, why do they have to use guns and other cruel means. Why couldn't they shoot them with something that will put them to sleep?
Posted by: Debra Jones | February 6, 2009 11:58 AM
Great beginning for a new president.
A big change for a sustainable policy.

Thank God for Obama! We have been ruled by a sadistic President for too long. Sarah Palin needs to be removed from office ASAP. Save a wolf... Spay a Palin! She is a disgrace to the human race! Just another village idiot, this time from Alaska.
Posted by: Sherry Johnson | February 7, 2009 09:15 PM
Obama is a believer
