特朗普周五签署行政命令,指示内政部长道格·伯根在三个月内确定灰狼和墨西哥灰狼的种群是否已恢复到足以将其从《濒危物种保护法》中除名的程度。1该命令要求评估灰狼是否可以更容易地被授权猎杀。1
当前,灰狼在美国下48州的大部分地区继续受法律保护,这源于2022年联邦法院的命令。1墨西哥灰狼需要连续4年平均种群超过320只才能被考虑除名,亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州在2025年底的统计数字为319只。1特朗普在签署仪式上对亚利桑那州牧场主表示"你现在可以射杀它们吗?",内政部长伯根则回应称需要做一些魔法。1
这一决定招致环保组织的强烈反对。1环保组织领导人迈克尔·罗宾逊表示:"我们将用信息和科学知识在每一步进行抗争。"1需要注意的是,在大部分地区猎杀灰狼仍然是联邦犯罪,特朗普的命令不会改变这一现状。1
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday instructing the Department of the Interior to evaluate whether gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves should be removed from the Endangered Species Act, and to explore streamlining authorization for wolf hunting 1. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum was given three months to determine whether the wolf populations have sufficiently recovered to justify delisting 1.
The move faced sharp criticism from environmental organizations. Michael Robinson, a leader of one such group, stated: "We will fight at every step with information and science" 1. At the signing ceremony, Trump asked an Arizona rancher: "Can you shoot them now?" to which Burgum responded that they would need to "do some magic" 1. However, hunting gray wolves remains a federal crime across most of the country, and Trump's order does not change that 1.
The regulatory timeline reflects the complexity of the issue. A 2022 federal court order keeps gray wolves under Endangered Species Act protection across most of the lower 48 states 1. Mexican gray wolves require an average population exceeding 320 individuals over four consecutive years to be considered for delisting; Arizona and New Mexico counted 319 animals by the end of 2025 1.
