Residents in the small city of Ely, Minnesota, about 4 hours outside of Minneapolis, are used to wildlife, but now they\u2019re starting to fear for their safety.<\/p>\n

The town sits on the edge of the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, which is known for its wildlife.<\/p>\n

However, the town of 3,000 people is growing more concerned as they continue to spot the predator lurking near their children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Residents spotted a wolf walking near Ely School District on November 7, 2025.<\/p>\n

Police footage that caught two wolves running down the street went viral on Facebook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two wolves ran on both sides of the street and eventually met up as they got further down the block.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeems like a good opportunity to remind everyone of Ely\u2019s leash law,\u201d the Ely Police Department captioned the video, with a winking emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video garnered over 6,000 reactions and 1,000 comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill don\u2019t think there\u2019s a wolf problem?\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n

The gray wolf is listed under the Endangered Species Act; however, some lawmakers are pushing to remove the animals from the list.<\/p>\n

Republican US Representative Pete Stauber, who represents the region, claims that the Minnesota wolf population is no longer endangered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stauber argued that the rising wolf population is now a danger to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing a wolf stroll near a school while kids are in class is a stark reminder that gray wolf populations are WELL past restored,\u201d Stauber said in a Facebook post<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must be removed from the endangered species list!\u201d<\/p>\n

Other lawmakers echoed Stauber\u2019s concerns about growing wolf populations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen livestock slaughtered, pets torn apart, and wolves now appearing on school grounds,\u201d Republican Wisconsin representative Tom Tiffany posted online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir population must be managed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to delist the gray wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stauber is also spearheading a Pet and Livestock Protection, which he hopes the House will soon pass.<\/p>\n

Stauber\u2019s legislation urges the government to return wolf management to the states so leaders can ensure the safety of farmers, ranchers, hunters, and residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RESIDENTS are on edge after multiple gray wolf sightings left them fearing for their safety.
