Idaho Prepares for Wolf Disaster

[oneredarrow]

The governor of Idaho is considering whether to declare a "wolf disaster," as lawyers in federal courts wrangle over the future of the state's wolves.

The Idaho legislature approved a bill last week that would give Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter the power to declare a state of emergency because of the rising wolf population.

While considering moving to Idaho, the wolf issue is something that I do consider a problem. If common sense had been used then things would be fine, but at 2,000 wolves there is obviously a lack of common sense surrounding the issue. The herds need to be decimated, and reduced to under 500 before true "management" can take place IMO.
