Fisher: Stunt No Help In Wolf Delisting

But now comes Schroeder with another exhibit in the case against trusting Idaho to manage wolves responsibly. He admits the bill his Resources and Environment Committee introduced Monday is not seriously intended to export wolves to other states. But he says the absence of takers will be “the answer why we need to kill some.” The day he said this, Otter and the members of Idaho’s congressional delegation sent President Obama a letter asking him to remove the hold he put on a second delisting attempt and other last-minute moves by the Bush administration. The letter calls the president’s attention to what its authors call “the consensus-based example Idaho will set in executing its management plan.” Thanks to Schroeder’s stunt, Obama couldn’t be blamed if he concluded what the letter pointed to was a consensus of crazies/ Jim Fisher , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Which aspect of the wolf situation is goofier — the federal government forcing Idaho to take the wolves in the first place? Or Schroeder’s tongue-in-cheek plan to ask other states to take our excess?
