So the purpose of this blog is to increase the understanding of and love for them. Last week, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission approved a proposal to pay Wildlife Services $50,000 to launch a new round of wolf killing — which could include aerial gunning — under the excuse of artificially inflating elk herds to make hunting them easier. This plan is misguided and wrong! This can not be allowed to go on. When wolves were put on the endangered species the government wanted to get their population back up to at least 2000. This goal was accomplished because it was illegal to hunt wolves. When wolves were taken of the endangered spices list in 2011 it was made legal to hunt them. A few months ago the 1000 wolf was killed. IN ONE YEAR. The chart bellow shows the current wolf population in Western states.
