Exclamation Governor of Idaho calls for KILLING 85% of gray wolves in the state!

The Republican governor of Idaho intends to authorize the killing of almost all of the gray wolves in the state as soon as the Republican Bush Administration strips them of protection under the endangered species act. In fact, Gov. C. L. "Butch" Otter said he is looking forward to killing a wolf personally. "Butch" loves killing animals. He loves his guns and his killing and all that good stuff. That's why he's a member of the National Rifle Association and Safari Club International, a group of right-wing "sportsmen" who just love to kill endangered species -- the rarer, the better. You get extra points for killing something that is almost extinct. If you don't believe me, just follow that link and read it for yourself. Try not to gag.

I think the governor is also an official cowboy or something like that. It's all on his website with the other crap. He's also a devout Roman Catholic, so I guess he's killing wolves in God's service? How many wolves would Jesus kill? I wonder if he'll invite Darth Cheney to join in on the 'sport?'

"I'm prepared to bid for that first ticket to shoot a wolf myself," Otter said earlier Thursday during a rally of about 300 hunters.

You can read all about it here. Try not to throw up on your keyboard.

One of the wolves "Butch" wants to kill.

Question

Ninong,

It would be interesting to see how much impact a resurgent Grey Wolf population is having on the cattle industry in Idaho.

Regards,

Scott

Defenders of Wildlife

Why is there a Defenders of Wildlife Compensation Trust?

The goal is to shift economic responsibility for wolf recovery away from the individual rancher and toward the millions of people who want to see wolf populations restored. When ranchers alone are forced to bear the cost of wolf recovery, it creates animosity and ill will toward the wolf. Such negative attitudes can result in illegal killing.

Do wolves kill livestock frequently?

No. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the highest reported livestock loss rates in Minnesota are only a fraction of one percent. Livestock loss rates in the northern Rockies also have been low. In comparison, wolf losses represent one of the lowest causes for livestock losses in general. Statistics offer little consolation, however, to those who suffer losses.

How does the program work?

A federal, tribal or state wildlife agent confirms through an investigation including necropsy techniques and the presence of tracks, hair and scat in order to determine that a wolf has killed livestock. An investigation report is sent to Defenders and we contact the rancher to help determine the livestock value. A check from Defenders is sent to the rancher after receiving the agent’s report. We pay full market value for calves and lambs for confirmed livestock kills by wolves and grizzly bears. We pay 50 percent of market value for probable losses when the evidence is strong, but not conclusive that the predators have killed livestock.

How is the livestock value determined?

Defenders takes the rancher's assessment of the animal's value and compares it with current auction reports and livestock prices as reported in regional newspapers. If there is a significant difference, the local county extension agent determines the price. Our maximum payment per animal is $3,000. The Trust does not compensate the rancher if the livestock is covered by an insurance program or an existing state program.
