Talk about a bad case of self-entitlement—when it comes to wildlife, Idaho hunters give new meaning to the words. Ever since wolves were removed from the endangered species list, hunters in Idaho have been making a federal case of the fact that their “game” is feeding wild predators (as nature intended).
Meanwhile, you hear next to nothing about poachers, who take a bigger bite of the “resource” than wolves ever could. Their reaction to poaching seems to be: “Why get excited about that? At least they’re humans like us.”
To challenge poaching is to challenge all human entitlement to prey species who here long before humans even set foot on this continent.
It’s another case of the “it’s all here for us” mentality—on steroids.

Exposing the Big Game 
Thank You! Eloquent and true, as always. The photo is spectacular!
Thank you.
The world’s gone mad!
The human world, that is. I try not associate with it unless absolutely necessary.
I’m planning to move to Boise, Idaho for college.
With all the anti-wolf stuff I’ve been seeing online I’m a little nervous what I’ll encounter when I get there. Hopeful it’s not as bad as people are saying it is.
The college campus there might be the one place you’ll find a few like-minded people. Good luck and keep us posted…
