Costello: To California With Love

Schroeder’s idea allows us to entertain ourselves with thought exercises imagining where we can send truckloads of wolves so that they may plague those who deserve to be afflicted the most.  First, send a truckload or two to California. California would be the ideal destination for wolves. Malibu comes to mind. After all, it was touchy-feely Californian style environmentalism that inspired wolf transplantation to the northern Rockies in the first place. Shouldn’t Idaho invite Californians to share the love? And California has the right cultural attitude for making an aggressive predator feel right at home. I can remember about 20 or so years ago when a cougar stalked, killed and partially ate a woman who was jogging on a trail near my parents’ home. The Department of Fish and Game tracked the lion down and shot it. Bereaved Californians raised money to support the lioness’ orphaned kittens. It was left to Rush Limbaugh to raise money nationwide for the motherless children of the jogger/ Michael Costello , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Where or to whom would you like to send a gift-wrapped, live gray wolf from Idaho?
