Ron Gillett no doubt has had better
weeks than the last one. Tuesday, the Stanley outfitter who leads the Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition was arrested after a confrontation with one of his neighbors in the small community, wolf advocate Lynne Stone. He later pleaded innocent to misdemeanor charges of assault and battery, and was released on his own recognizance. Friday, the federal government did something Gillett had predicted it never would: It removed the Rocky Mountain gray wolf from the endangered species list. If these incidents don’t make the people Gillett has enlisted in his crusade to exterminate every wolf in Idaho - including the scores of them who have attended Gillett’s appearances in Lewiston - suspect he might be a hothead given to spouting unreliable information, you wonder what will/
