Up to 24 wolves in British Columbia just north of Idaho will be shot by helicopter gunners this winter in an effort to save the 18 remaining southern Selkirk Mountains woodland caribou from extinction. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources formally announced the wolf removal effort on Thursday, but the planning has been underway for more than a year, said Wayne Wakkinen, Idaho Fish and Game Department regional wildlife manager in Coeur d’Alene. Both the predators and their prey roam across the U.S.-Canada border into North Idaho and the northeastern corner of Washington/Rich Landers, Outdoors. More here.

Question: Do you agree with this approach to save the endangered wouthern Selkirk Mountains woodland caribou from extinction?
