COEUR d'ALENE - A rally honoring the 379 wolves killed in Idaho during the 2011-2012 wolf hunt is set for 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Fort Sherman at Coeur d'Alene City Park.

It will feature live music, guest speakers, refreshments and a trap-release workshop by Footloose Montana aimed at educating citizens how to identify traps/snares, and if necessary, how to release a pet.

The 2012-2013 wolf hunt on public lands in Idaho begins the same day of the rally. Full story. CdA Press
