Don't Let Idaho Kill Endangered Wolves
Target: Fish and Wildlife ServiceSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
Hundreds of wolves are at risk in Idaho, where in 2001 legislators passed a measure calling for the elimination of wolves "by any means necessary." The State has recently asked for permission to kill up to 75% of the wolves within the Lolo District of Clearwater National Forest and in an area where they are now protected as an endangered species.
And, they want to repeat the slaughter in the Lolo District every year for the next five years.
Most unsettling is that Idaho would like to kill 3 out of 4 wolves regardless of the wolves' history of interaction with humans and livestock. That means that wolves that have never done anything to harm livestock or people could be killed.
Once hunted, trapped and poisoned to extinction in Idaho, wolves have made a remarkable recovery. An estimated 512 wolves, including 36 breeding packs, are a critical part of Idaho's ecosystems. And, contrary to anti-wolf extremists' claims, the wolves are not a significant threat to livestock or game populations.
Help us stop anti-wolf extremists and save the wolves Urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife to deny Idaho's request to kill wolves.

Wolves are beautiful, gentle, amazing creatures that are already struggling as it is. Don't punish wolves just because they eat meat just like MOST people do.(Myself not included.).

If wolves are no threat why kill them have they done anything to you specifically? Ok then i rest my case. I understand if one rushes at you while hunting sure you're just protecting you're self but still why do it if they have not done anything wrong
# 65,330:
This is never the way to make things right. The wolf is a remarkable life force and should be treated with much respect. Mass killings are a cruel and shamful act by humans.
