Cut ties with Wildlife Services

Wildlife Services “temporarily” stopped the use of M-44 cyanide bombs in Idaho. It took the near loss of a child’s life to realize the insidious impact of this torturous agency on wildlife.

I personally was able to stop Wildlife Services up the St. Joe River when I came across a camouflaged skull and cross-bones sign starring me in the face after a 10-mile hike into the forest. It was prudent for me and my dogs to leave ASAP. Upon complaining to the Fish and Game, it was removed.

This was taxpayer public land where there are no cattle or livestock problems. We are forced to endure the manipulations of Wildlife Services in their relentless persecution of predators and wolves. The goal is to create a mono culture of elk herds. Elk tags bring revenue.

These devices aren’t restricted to just Idaho. With no oversight, Wildlife Service killed and tortured over 2.7 millions predators and wildlife in 2016 alone in the U.S. This has gone on for decades.

Contact state wildlife agencies to demand that they cut ties with this rogue agency known as Wildlife Services which are a tentacle of the Department of Agriculture.
