CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Supporters of the federal government’s removal of gray wolves from the endangered species list say they haven’t decided whether to appeal a judge’s preliminary decision to relist the wolves.

Lawyers for the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho and the representatives of several sportsmen’s groups met in a teleconference Friday to discuss their options.

A federal judge in Montana last week issued a preliminary injunction restoring endangered species protections for gray wolves in the Northern Rockies.

Environmentalists sought the injunction as part of a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over the agency’s decision to remove the wolves from the endangered species list in March.
