[Vision2020] Shooting Wolves

[Art Deco]

Rose,

The wolf controversy is similar to the birther controversy.  A bunch of ignorant people supporting their anti-wolf position with lies, myths, and fear mongering tactics.  There is a problem, but it has been greatly exaggerated, especially locally,  and especially about the elk population whose greatest predators are human hunters and poachers.

Shooting from helicopters?  Too bad the wolves can't shoot back!

  I recognize that the reintroduction of wolves in Idaho is a hotly debated topic. Regardless, of one's position in this ongoing argument, I am repulsed by the following statement. " Aerial gunning of wolves in the Lolo Zone could begin "with all due haste," if the animals are delisted by the end of this week, said Idaho Fish and Game Director Virgil Moore at Lewiston this morning."  This is crackpottery and blood lust of the first degree.  Shooting animals from a helicopter - I can't imagine any genuine sportsman or woman who would want to be connected in any way with these despicable antics.  Shades of the half-term governor Sarah Palin.
