Why were wolves removed from the endangered species list? Bradley talks to Leslie Williams and Samantha Attwood, the mother-daughter duo behind The #RelistWolves Campaign, a grassroots coalition made up of dedicated conservationists, environmental nonprofit organizations, wildlife advocates, and scientists working to relist wolves on the endangered species list. Gray wolves are caught up in political tensions between the federal government and the states, which are lobbied by the powerful hunting lobby to sanction brutal hunts. Williams and Attwood have created a coalition to push back against these special interests through science-backed advocacy. "Once they get rid of the wolves," says Attwood, "they're gonna go after the grizzly bear. They're gonna go after the big cats. They're gonna go after a lot of animals. So I think it's important that we make a stand right here."
