The Trump administration filed Friday to appeal a federal court ruling that restored protections for the Yellowstone grizzly bear.
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) filed notice that it is asking the San Francisco-based Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to overturn its September ruling that found that the agency acted improperly last year when it removed Endangered Species Act protections for the bear.
Justice Department attorneys did not tell the court their specific arguments for the appeal, a step that will come later in the process.
The states of Idaho and Wyoming, which host the Yellowstone grizzly population, had previously sought to appeal the ruling, as did pro-hunting groups Safari Club International and the National Rifle Association. But the appeal couldn't proceed without the federal government joining in.

Come on now. We don't want those grizzly bears attacking our school children.
