Stop Killing Contest on idaho Salmon - Challis National Forest

I am writing to ask you to reverse course on a serious misstep that has somehow allowed the misnamed "Idaho for Wildlife" to hold a wildlife-killing contest on our national forest lands. I was extremely disappointed to learn that the Forest Service plans to allow this hunt to continue without permitting or environmental review. The Salmon-Challis National Forest provides essential habitat for wildlife -- including predators like wolves and coyotes -- and should not be used to allow such unethical hunts.

By not requiring a permit for this event, the Forest Service has effectively escaped any public review of the competition. But the public must have a say in how our lands are used and managed, and an event of this size and magnitude must be preceded by an environmental review open to public scrutiny.
