Ketchum: Stop Killing Wolves Here

The Ketchum City Council passed a resolution Monday asking the Idaho Fish and Game Department to stop killing wolves in Blaine County. “The purpose of the resolution is to differentiate the City of Ketchum’s values and polices from the State of Idaho’s and to ask for a different wolf management approach in Blaine County,” the council said. Mayor Gina Jonas said the resolution’s timing was tied to the beginning of hunting season and the community “Trailing of the Sheep,” festival, honoring the sheep ranching tradition. The resolution is not meant to be anti-hunting and celebrates the use of non-lethal methods by area sheep ranchers. “The resolution asks for a more moderate wolf management in Idaho,” Jonas said/ Rocky Barker , Idaho Statesman.

Question: P’haps the Ketchum officials can develop a program to encourage neighboring wolves to consider a vegan diet? Thoughts?
