Edit: Idaho Cries Big, Bad Wolf Again
In a seemingly never-ending battle to vilify and treat wolves as inhumanely as possible, Idaho state officials and Idaho For Wildlife, which pretends to be dedicated to the preservation of the state’s wildlife, have once again combined to embarrass the Gem State and solidify the fact it is incapable of responsibly and ethically managing the predator. To start, the good people at Idaho For Wildlife sponsored the first statewide competition in decades to hunt wolves and coyotes in Idaho. The event, scheduled for the weekend of Dec. 28-29 in Salmon, is the first to be held in the continental United States since 1974, the year wolves across the country came under protection of the Endangered Species Act. The tournament offers cash and trophies for killing the largest wolf and the most female coyotes. Children as young as 10 are welcomed to compete — what a way to instill a proper respect for wildlife/ Devin Rokyta , Moscow-Pullman Daily News Editorial Board. More here.
Question: Do you support/oppose the wolf/coyote hunt in Salmon Dec. 28-29?
