Lawsuit Filed to Expose Trump Administrations Plan for Critically Endangered Red Wolves

The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a lawsuit attempting to expose the Trump admins emails regarding their action plan for the critically endangered red wolf. As it stands, there are currently only 24 known red wolves scattered among their known habitat which is a frighteningly low number of these beautiful animals left in the wild. A proposed action plan was left unanswered and now the Center for Biological Diversity is filing this lawsuit to better find out what exactly is being done to protect them.

Listing these animals under the Endangered Species Act would force the Fish and Wildlife Services to formulate a plan to properly protect and conserve this species but the emails that should be available to the public have been hidden which indicates a potential lack of action on the Trump admins part. With their lack of transparency, it leaves room to believe that absolutely nothing is being done to help the red wolves survive and thrive once again. This is wholly unacceptable on the part of the Trump administration. This in my opinion is hardly surprising given his administrations lack of effort when it comes to animals as made evident by his repeated lack of effort when it comes to animals like the giraffe or his approval of the import of lion and elephant trophies despite these animals desperately needing protection.

When you consider the number of remaining red wolves, there is no time to waste when it comes to protecting them. Immediate action must be taken before these animals inevitably face extinction and that's why the Center for Biological Diversity is filing their lawsuit. The sooner we all know exactly what is or isn't being done, the sooner we can pressure his administration to do more before it is too late. Trump has been the worst when it comes to animals and it's important to continue the pressure on his admin so that they know exactly what we think of his lackluster efforts.

Losing another predatory species is detrimental to the ecosystem in that animals like deer will start to flourish. Although this doesn't seem like an actual problem, it is an excuse for the government to start culling them in an effort to "protect" the nature and fauna of the specific area. Their lack of protection in the case of the red wolves will assuredly lead to more damage done to other animals that are undeserving of their fate.
