UPCOMING HEARING by conservation groups to dismiss a frivolous lawsuit filed by Montana anti-wolf politicians and their allies against FWP and Commission.

Having been thwarted in their mission to eradicate wolves through the Montana 2025 legislative session and the following August Fish and Wildlife commission meeting, the Outdoor Heritage Alliance, which is comprised mainly of Montana trappers, Montana Representative Paul Fielder, Representative Shannon Maness, and hunting outfitter Craig Neal, seek to contort law and fact to argue that the State of Montana is not killing enough wolves.

Fearing that the MT Fish and Wildlife Commission and FWP, who are no friends of wolves, will either settle with the plaintiffs or not adequately defend themselves in court, Trap Free Montana, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Wolf and Wildlife Advocates, and Western Watersheds Project, quickly formed a coalition for legal counsel to help us intervene.

Being granted by the court as intervenors, we subsequently had filed a motion for the court to dismiss this frivolous lawsuit in the plaintiffs’ latest attempt to achieve their goal.

The hearing on our motion to dismiss will be heard by the Hon. John Mercer, at Sanders County District Court, in Thompson Falls, on Tuesday May 5th, 2026.

Stay Tuned!
