Idaho lawmakers on verge of sanctioning a carnage of 90% of the state’s wolves

S. 1211 would allow trophy hunters and trappers to kill an unlimited number of wolves by shooting mothers and pups in their dens, poisoning the animals, and shooting them from helicopters or airplanes, among other extremely cruel methods.Photo by Jean Landry/iStock.com

A bill that would allow trophy hunters, trappers and private contractors hired at taxpayer expense to kill up to 90% of the state’s wolves is flying through the Idaho legislature, and we need to stop it in its tracks.

The bill, introduced Tuesday, has already passed the state Senate and the House Resources and Conservation Committee. It could receive a vote on the floor of the House as early as Monday.

They know what is going on, generally, and so this does not surprise me and is not as bad as it sounds for reducing their population (methods maybe so but getting rid of a lot of them, no).
