Enviros sue to stop wolf killings
Five conservation groups on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in Idaho seeking to stop a federal agency from killing wolves in the state until a new environmental analysis is prepared. Idaho-based Western Watersheds Project and four other groups in the 27-page federal lawsuit say the 2011 analysis by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services is outdated. The agency and its state director, Todd Grimm, are named in the lawsuit. Grimm says the agency had no comment. The groups say Wildlife Services killed at least 72 wolves in Idaho last year, mostly following reports of livestock depredation/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
