LIVE BAIT?????
How low have things sunk in Idaho? Well, Senator Jeff Siddoway, a Idaho sheep rancher, has introduced Senate bill 1305, one of the most disgusting anti-wolf bills yet and that’s saying something.
“Under Sen. Jeff Siddoway’s plan introduced Thursday, ranchers whose livestock are molested or killed by wolves could employ powered parachutes, as well as traps baited with live animals, to target the predators within 36 hours without a permit.
After that, they could get permits giving them up to 60 days to pursue offending wolf packs.”
It’s not bad enough hunters have killed over 300 wolves in Idaho since September or that the state wants to swoop down on the innocent Lolo wolves and aerial gun them for some perceived threat to elk, who’ve been declining in the Lolo since before wolves were reintroduced. Now this.
So live bait? That could be a dog, a horse ANYTHING that’s alive.
Ranchers going up in ultra-lights to aerial gun wolves??
This bill has to be fought with everything we’ve got. The Senate Resources & Environmental Committee is holding a hearing tomorrow in Boise @ 1:30pm with live streaming
They are accepting public comments. I know this is short notice but please be there if you can and speak out against this travesty of a bill!

Yes Allan there is such a disease! The scientific name is BSE. it was first observed in English sheep many years ago. The same deadly organism has spread to cows, dogs, cats, humans, and elk. This is why elk populations are diminishing… and why you should beware of eating lamb or beef from the Rocky Mountain states. BSE is caused by a prion (not a “germ”: it cannot be killed by antibiotics or even extreme heat). This prion concentrates in spinal cord and fecal material and is spread by careless slaughtering methods which are the source of cheap animal feed (“beef and lamb byproducts”). It is also spread in the soil where open range cattle graze. Look it up on the net. Universities in the area have been researching it for years, but the dumb ranchers do not care because they’re too busy having fun and yes, eating too much mutton and elk.

Good for you Chrissty. The main predators of sheep are coyotes and domestic dogs, not wolves. Yet they are demonizing the wolves.

This is the height of wolf breeding season..they are dodging bullets from hunters and poachers. Now this. The poachers know they can get away with this. By the time the guns stop I don’t know if there will be any wolves left in Idaho.

Surplus killing is pretty rare, and is done by dogs as well … they have been known to slaughter large numbers of sheep without eating them. IMO the responsibility for such killings, whether committed by wolves or dogs, is on the rancher. Sheep can’t flee or fight back the way wolves’ natural prey do, so their killing instincts can kind of malfunction when they discover a sheep flock. The ranchers are the ones who decided to bring a defenseless creature like the sheep into wolf country and leave them out in the fields unsupervised.

It is not up to the wolves to protect the lambs….that is the ranchers responsibility! I am from Idaho and they torture and murder there own pets but, scream foul when a wild animal kills a lamb?

They sit around the dinner table and joke about castrating cats with buck knives and watching them bleed to death and shooting their own dogs and think this is just hilarious.

This has passed the point of sanity. What is wrong with these people? The world looks down on Idaho farmers as nothing more than pestilence and ignorant. Defender’s showed them how to keep their livestock safe from wolves. (Which we all know that the wolf is not the one killing their livestock.) That was scientifically proven. Are they so stupid that they cannot comprehend the idea of other predators out there, or for some reason, other that bounty money and political persuasion? It’s too bad that they can’t use the farmers as live bait as wolves do not attack humans unless they are rabid, cornered or protecting their young. I have friends that don’t belong to Facebook, but I’ve contacted them and they have contacted others…and so on and so forth, so when they pick up something at a store they check to make sure it’s NOT from Idaho.

I garentee you that if they, the ranchers, manage to kill off all the wolves they will face the same over population of elk like they did before and complain that the elk population is out of hand.
I understand that the ranchers have a stake in the whole reintroduction of wolves because of their livestock, BUT THAT IS THE PRICE THEY PAY FOR LIVING IN AREAS THAT ARE POPULATED BY BEARS, COYOTES, and or COUGARS! I mean it would be just pure ignorance if they thought their livestock was always protected by apex predators.

Wasn’t it mentioned that less than the quota was hunted in Montana? Probably due to lack of interest; most people don’t want to do this to wolves, I’m sure of it now.
If they have to chase an “offending” wolf pack with such desperate measures and “entrapment”, there isn’t much of a problem. How immoral is it to use a live animal to catch another live animal to kill. These people have lost their minds totally. See what allowing that sneaky that rider in has done?

I don’t understand why Idaho (and other states) have such a strong desire to kill wolves. Why can’t they do what Michigan is going to do? And in case you don’t know what Michigan is going to do, the state plans on classifying wolves as a “protected, non-game species,” and will allow ranchers to shoot individual wolves that cause problems, but at the same time, will encourage the use of non-lethal methods of preventing depredation. Michigan does not have a perfect Wolf Management Plan (has legislature, not DNR, decide if there will be Wolf Hunting, and we all know how politicans feel about wolves), but it is a lot better than the Wolf Management Plans of the other states with strong wolf populations.

But I will say that I have contacted all my legislators and asked them to stop this bill.
Perhaps the calls for a boycott are a bit premature (as if a small group of hipsters would really make a difference anyway) as the bill is getting heat from both sides of the wolf issue and likely won’t become law.
