Stop Idaho's Next Wolf-Killing Derby
I urge that the Bureau of Land Management deny any application for permission to use public lands in the Salmon, Idaho, area (or elsewhere in Idaho and surrounding states) for the purpose of “predator derbies.”
Why is this important?
A radical anti-wolf group has applied to the Bureau of Land Management for permission to hold a wolf and coyote killing "derby" on public lands surrounding the Salmon, Idaho, area.
This is the second derby in the same area organized by the group Idaho for Wildlife. The contest has historically awarded prizes for the most carcasses and for the largest wolf carcass taken by participants.
Contests like this have no place on public lands. They put individuals, pets, and native wildlife at great peril and are in complete opposition to responsible, ethical hunting.
Please ask the Bureau of Land Management to deny permission for the proposed wolf and coyote killing derby in the Salmon, Idaho, area.
