A hit man sent by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game may be the last thing the Monumental and Golden Creek wolf packs will see before they die.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The U.S Forest Service (USFS) has ignored their own wilderness management policy and allowed the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) to send a trapper out to exterminate two wolf packs deep within the vast Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.
This is a massive betrayal of the public trust. Tell the USFS, the agency in charge of protecting this Wilderness Area, to immediately stop the wolf eradication program in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness area.
The future of wolves in Idaho is grim if we don’t act against their brutal anti-wolf agenda. In 2012, IDFG funded the aerial killing of 14 wolves, paying a bounty of $1600 per dead wolf. And now the Forest Service is letting it happen – against their own policies.
Enough is enough. Tell the USFS that their reckless decision to allow entire wolf packs to be exterminated in a protected wilderness area is unconscionable.
There isn’t any time to lose – as you read this, the state’s hit man is out laying his traps which by Idaho law can be left unchecked for up to 72 hours – leaving anything caught to bleed to death or succumb to exposure while waiting to be shot by the returning trapper.
This is going on as we speak – time is of the essence.
Please, take action immediately! Tell the USFS that it’s their duty to protect the wild in Wilderness Areas – and they must stop this reckless wolf extermination!
Thank you for all that you do.

Exposing the Big Game 
Is there no hope for wolves? I don’t understand why this is allowed to happen, and I don’t know what to do about it.
Hello Michelle! You came to the right place to help wolves. Mr. Robertson is extremely well informed and current with developments in this assault on wolves.
There is hope for wolves, as long as we all keep speaking up on their behalf.
Nice to meet you.
Heidi
The one thing we can all do, Michelle, is take action whenever possible.
The cruelty and blood sport must stop. We’re wolves reintroduced simply as a money making scheme? I’m afraid that is what it looks like. Additionally, the 72 hour requirement before checking traps is abhorrent! Where is the decency?!
The folks who reintroduced wolves are not the same as the ones who are setting out traps (and not checking them for 72 hours!!), so I don’t think it was a money making scheme.
Reblogged this on "OUR WORLD".
Thanks Jim. Signed !
This guy is what was known in the old days as a ‘wolfer’. It’s hard to believe we have not progressed in the area of protecting wildlife at all since the 1800s.
The backsliding is snowballing.
Signed.
Save the Wolves. Stop extermination of the Wolf :'(( We are their voice.
