Hunting wolves with bait? Idaho must be stopped!


Take action today!
Dear Folks,
The state of Idaho continues to intensify its war on wolves.
This time they’re proposing a rule that would allow hunters to lure wolves with bait and then shoot them.
Idaho would become the only state where this is allowed and we simply can’t let this appalling proposal become law.
Baiting wolves is a despicable practice that can draw entire packs in to be killed simply because they are hungry and unsuspecting. It may also create an unnecessary risk to grizzly bears in Idaho too.
There are estimated to be fewer than 800 wolves in Idaho and there is a growing demand to reduce the population to dangerously low levels of 150 wolves or fewer. Wolf hunters and trappers already have the right to legally kill as many as 10 wolves per person each year!
Not sure what to say? You can use some of the following points in your message:
  • I oppose baiting wolves in Idaho. Many of the lands where wolves range are public lands that belong to all of us and, as a steward of that land and the wildlife that call it home, I do not support using bait to lure in and then shoot wolves and their young.
  • The Idaho wolf population is already far below that of black bears, coyotes and cougars. Wolves play an important role in culling diseased animals from elk and deer herds and otherwise help to keep our land healthy.
  • The baiting of wolves is not allowed in other states and should not be allowed in Idaho.
Sincerely,
