URGENT - Idaho Bill Will Allow the Slaughter of 90% of Wolves

An extremely controversial bill was passed in Idaho, heading towards Governor Brad Little's desk for final approval. If approved, 90% of Idaho's wolf population will be permitted to be slaughtered, reducing the amount of wolves in the state from 1, 500 to a mere 150. This bill is a direct attack on wolves and will ultimately lead them back to the Endangered Species Act, forcing resources and efforts into protecting and rehabilitating them once again. 

The animal agriculture industry is heavily protected as it generates major revenue. Predatory animals like wolves will often have conflict with animal ag because livestock are easy targets and often left easily accessible to these predators. After livestock is injured or killed, the animal ag industry manages to get the Government involved and this typically results in the slaughter of predatory animals to protect the livestock industry. Despite the fact that wolves contribute majorly to healthy ecosystems and have only recently been brought back from the brink of extinction, it is still thought that killing them is the most effective option. 

This pattern of heavily protecting the animal ag industry at any cost is leading to the endangerment of a variety of species, including wolves. I can't help but wonder why money is being funneled into decimating wolves which will ultimately lead to funding to protect them when this money could be allocated towards better protecting livestock. Why are these animals so accessible? What kind of perimeter protection do they have and can it be improved? Why is it that resources are immediately funneled towards slaughter instead of prevention? As I said, all of these resources to kill them which will lead to further resources to protect them. Seems a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

Most people on this planet support the rehabilitation of endangered species and would likely not support their tax dollars going towards killing innocent wolves. It's time to start focusing on prevention and how to better protect livestock as opposed to killing everything and hoping that works. This is irresponsible, thoughtless, and ineffective. We have spent years rehabilitating wolves only to have Idaho actively work against that rehabilitation to protect the animal ag industry.

Enough is enough.
