BOISE, Idaho – While the U. S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceBut it’s not the first time Announced last week that the elimination of wolves from the National Endangered Species Protection Act is “very imminent,” Idaho’s new knowledge shows the face of wolf control across the state.
According to an investigation of records received through the Western Watersheds Project, hunters, trappers, and state and federal agencies killed 570 wolves in Idaho in a 12-month era between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. At least 35 bathing wolves, some of them weigh less than 16 pounds and probably only four to 6 weeks old. Some of the wolves broke their teeth trying to get out of the traps, others died of hyperthermia in traps placed through the USDA Wildlife and other facilities were shot dead air traffic control actions Total mortality in this era accounted for approximately 60% of Idaho’s estimated wolf population until the end of 2019.
“There is nothing clinical about the control of the Idaho Department of Fisheries and Hunting, which turns out to be guided through anti-wolf hysteria among some members of the breeder and hunter communities, which through any kind of conservation ethic,” Talasi said. Brooks of Western Watersheds Project. ” This is cruel, morally and ethically reprehensible, and politics is explained through a procedure that deprives the interests of preserving any voice. “
Approximately 400 wolves have been killed each year in Idaho in recent years, and the 570 wolves killed in 2019-2020 are breaking records, likely reflecting the Idaho Department of Fisheries and Hunting (IDFG)’s incitement to kill wolves. This point of disturbance of the population affects the effects of a population point on wolves, which adds a decrease in the population, a younger and destabilized population and, in the end, more conflicts related to livestock.
“It’s disgusting to see how wolves were sacrificed in Idaho once federal endangered species protections were lifted,” said Andrea Zaccardi, senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “If wolves are ruled out nationally, this cruelty can simply spread to all wolves within the borders of our country. This remedy of our nation’s wildlife is unacceptable”.

“The violent and reckless slaughter of wolves and their cubs in Idaho not only illustrates the worst ‘management’ of wildlife in the state, but also highlights the darkest corners of humanity. Mutilating, scouring and actively seeking to destroy a circle of indigenous relatives and the social animal through nature is disgusting,” said Samantha Bruegger, WildEarth Guardians’ Wildlife Coexistence Campaign. “Tragically, Idaho’s history obviously shows the rest of the country what can happen to wolves if they are removed from the Endangered Species Act. “
“Idaho doesn’t” handles “wolves, but seeks to reduce the state’s wolf population at the breaking point of federal resale while endangering the region-wide recovery of an indigenous carnivore. This inhumane killing of wolves opposes the federal recovery targets and is one of the many reasons why the Endangered Species Act protects grey wolves so much across the country,” said Zoe Hanley of Defenders of Wildlife.
IDFG recently announced that it has awarded approximately $21,000 in “challenge grants” to the Foundation four Wildlife Management, founded in northern Idaho, which reimburses wolf traps consistent with a reward of up to $1,000 consistent with the murdered wolf. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. A single person can now kill up to 30 wolves in accordance with IDFG’s hunting and capture regulations, an additional increase of the 20 wolves allowed in the past.
“It’s beyond how tragic Idaho has become the iconic figure of animal cruelty through the pathological destruction of wolves,” said Brooks Fahy, executive director of Predator Defense. on behalf of fans of the community of shepherds and hunters. Second, we found that cutting off coverage of the Endangered Species Act and allowing states to handle wolves regularly leads to massacres. “
“Wolves are an indigenous species and are part of our iconic western wildlife heritage,” said Derek Goldman, northern Rocky Mountain representative of the Endangered Species Coalition. “It is deeply disappointing that Idaho’s Dement of Fish and Game is abandoning science and ethics in its zeal to eliminate wolves, when there are already many non-lethal and less costly approaches to conflict prevention. “
