I see stickers on trucks in Idaho that say Kill a Wolf save an Elk, but they should finish the sentence, so we can Kill the Elk. Leave the wolves on the Endangerd Species List. Idaho is planning to aerial kill wolves if so, boycott Idaho, vacation elsewhere. But, not in Montana, Wyoming or Alaska. Absolutely right.

They need to realize (if they do not already) that wolves are mainly target (above predators--like HUMANS) for supposedly decimating elk, when this simply is not true. The real reason is that hunters want to kill the elk themselves! They have teamed up with the NRA and other groups to twist the arms of legislators, who cave in to keep their jobs. This is not governing; it is toadying. And it is wrong. Ignorance is one thing. Hypocrisy, greed and mindless hate are quite another. Wolves are majestic, beautiful animals who help our ecosystem AND our enjoyment of it. Let's not let the hunting lobby ruin the lives of these creatures.
