Trump reviews wolf protections for ranchers

The order directs federal agencies to assess recovery criteria and consider regulatory revisions related to lethal wolf removal and compensation programs. This move seeks to support the cattle industry amid declining herd numbers and record-high beef prices, while drawing criticism from animal welfare groups concerned about wildlife conservation.
