Mike Garrity, Executive Director of the Alliance for the Wild Rockies said, "The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied today, prior to oral argument, our request for an injunction to stop the hunting of wolves (meaning no injunction will be granted before hearing before the Ninth Circuit on November 8th).  The Court will take up our emergency motion request after the government has a chance to respond by filing a reply brief no later than October 28, 2011."

"Unfortunately this means wolves will be hunted and trapped in Idaho and hunted in Montana for at least another three weeks.  We remain optimistic that we can still stop wolf hunting at the hearing before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 8th and we are thankful at least the Ninth Circuit will consider our arguments," concluded Garrity.
