Idaho Wildlife Ethics
Along with its natural beauty and strong and resilient citizens, Idaho's rich tapestry of wildlife is one of the state's greatest resources. We must act to protect them from cruel and irrational action. Cruelty to animals is not an Idaho value.
Why is this important?
From barbarous wildlife trapping practices to cruel and inhumane methods of deterring nesting by Canada Geese, it would seem that the State of Idaho cares little for our wildlife. Yet this wildlife is just as important to the integrity of our great state as the clear skies, sparkling lakes, rugged peaks,and swiftly flowing rivers. Our values, as Idahoans, do not include barbarism towards any living creatures, human or otherwise. We must stand strong for what we believe.
