H.R. 845: Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025
This bill, titled the Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025, focuses on the status of the gray wolf in the United States. The main purpose of the bill is to require the Secretary of the Interior to officially remove the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Key Provisions
- Final Rule Reissuance: Within 60 days of the bill becoming law, the Secretary of the Interior is mandated to reissue a prior rule that removes the gray wolf from the endangered species list. This rule was initially published on November 3, 2020.
- No Judicial Review: The reissuance of this final rule will not be able to be challenged or reviewed in court.
Implications
By removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list, the bill aims to impact various aspects of wildlife management, land use, and livestock protection. It is designed to ease restrictions on gray wolf populations, which some stakeholders believe could lead to better management practices for livestock protection and game species in areas where gray wolves have recovered substantially.
Current Status
The bill is currently in the House of Representatives, where it was introduced and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
Relevant Companies
- TSN (Tyson Foods): This company could be indirectly impacted because they are involved in livestock production, and changes in predator management could affect livestock losses.
- DE (Deere & Company): As a supplier of agricultural equipment, shifts in livestock management practices could influence demand for their machinery in areas where management strategies for wolves are changing.
