Last week, a federal judge in Idaho ruled that year-round wolf trapping and snaring should be stopped across much of Idaho because the traps are likely to capture and harm grizzly bears.
The attached article highlights the fact that “the judge ruled wolf traps were likely to ensnare grizzly bears even if all procedures were properly followed.”
Congrats and thanks to the many conservation organizations who challenged the state of Idaho’s liberal wildlife control, er, ah, management policies.
