: Idaho considers law to allow killing of wolves

 

Idaho's anti-wolf extremists are pushing a bill in the state legislature to

permit killing the endangered animals " when it is reasonable and necessary and

done in defense of privately owned property. " Defenders of Wildlife fears the

vaguely worded legislation would legitimize " shoot-shovel-and-shut-up "

vigilantism. Idaho's gray wolves are the beneficiaries of one of the most

successful wildlife recovery programs ever. More than 200 now are roaming freely

across a panoramic high-mountain landscape. Defenders of Wildlife pays ranchers

for livestock lost to wolves. Go to www.savewolves.org to learn more about
