Idaho has quit cooperating with the Feds on wolf poaching

[dhostetler]

Let the wolf eradication begin in Idaho.


I couln't figure out how to send a link so I copied & pasted the first several paragraphs of this article.


BOISE, Idaho — After talks with the federal government over a public wolf hunt collapsed, Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter ordered Idaho wildlife managers Monday to relinquish their duty to arrest poachers or to even investigate when wolves are killed illegally.

Otter rejected the wolf management Idaho has conducted for years as the federal government's "designated agent" after a federal judge in Montana returned wolves to Endangered Species Act protections earlier this year.

This means Idaho Department of Fish and Game managers will no longer perform statewide monitoring for wolves, conduct investigations into illegal killings, provide law enforcement when wolves are poached or participate in a program that responds to livestock depredations.

I'm glad to hear that Idaho is standing up for it's self. We can only hope that Montana does the same.

I always wondered when state soverenty would take hold with this issue. I thought it would be more official but I'll take it any way I can get it. Hope it comes to WI too.
