Idaho news.
maybe there was a reason they killed all these things 100 yrs ago
Can we introduce them to the Capitol rotunda?
Wolves kill for fun and sport...
Left out of the movie “Dances with Wolves”
and you know, they don’t attack to eat.....they attack just for the thrill......
Gee, and 78 of the sheep had just voted the wolves
their BFF, saying they were trying to understand
the wolf nature.
Time to triple S those murderous wolves-—shoot, shovel and shut up.

I think maybe they could use a few of our Giant Great Pyrenees. Males over 200lbs, strong and fast.
Round ‘em up and set them loose in Chicago for a couple of months, then Oakland and then, and then......
My wife and I are thinking of raising a few head of goats. I will likely have to deal with the damn coyotes and occasional cougar.
When we visited ID a couple of years ago, I learned that one wolf is responsible for the deaths of about 40 ungulates (hoofed animal) every year. They consume less than half of those they kill. The rest are just killed for “sport”.
They also threaten the health of ungulates by driving them from their natural feeding and breeding grounds.
So they were stampeded to death ???
I rather like wolves, actually, or at least I can tolerate them, as long as they observe the arrangement our respective species have come to - first one that looks at me crossways eats a bullet. The wolves understand that perfectly - I do wish that the econazi drama queens back East did.
I just went to a wolf meeting yesterday. That would only be one incident according to the environazis not 176 and you wouldn’t be allowed to kill them.
On another front they are “repatriating” the Mexican Gray Wolf on the US’s dime in Mexico. They cost 800K each to breed in captivity and they are releasing them just south of the border I’m sure so they will come north and this area will also be their territory. Thankfully, all 6 that they’ve released in Mexico have been killed.
I’m not unhappy that the wolves are dead but that is 4.8 million tax dollars wasted.
It would not bother me in the slightest to hunt a wolf for sport, and to get the beautiful fur and have it tanned. Maybe even make a fur coat. It would not go to waste, and as a renewable resource I would be doing a service by keeping the population in a sustainable balance. I would not get all weepy and emotional about it, as I am doing the wolf population a good deed by culling the excess population.
I get all weepy when I think of all the moose and elk calves being slaughtered by wolves.
So there...

“J.C. Siddoway of Terreton says almost all of the sheep died from asphyxiation. About 10 died of bite wounds and one was partially consumed.”
The wolves killed 10. The rest died as a result of panic from the wolf attack. Wonder what kind of protection they had? They need guard dogs around livestock out there and guys with guns who know how to use them.
The Idaho Statesman
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — A southeastern Idaho ranch lost 176 sheep as the animals ran in fear from two wolves that chased through a herd of about 2,400 animals south of Victor.
Sheepherders for the Siddoway Sheep Co. heard the wolves at about 1 a.m. Saturday, but didn't know the extent of the damage until they saw the sheep piled up on each other at daybreak.
Idaho Wildlife Services State Director Todd Grimm says it's the greatest loss by wolves ever recorded in one instance in the state. About nine years ago, wolves killed 105 sheep on one night.
Wolves are ruthless, efficient killing machines...and they do it for sport.
This incident happened not too far from where my in-laws live, about 300 miles from here. Of these 176 dead sheep, one was mostly eaten, 10 were mauled to death, and 165 SHEEP WERE ASPHIXIATED by the wolves. Most died from being jammed together upon each other in their panic.
Idaho has a wolf hunt season now and it has been expanding. In some counties it is year round. In most counties it runs from August of one year through the end of June of the next.
Wyoming and Montana also now have wolf hunts.
IMHO, these animals should be on an open season, no limit hunt list. No license required where the State or County pays a bounty for their hide. They are doing great harm to the commerical livestock industry, they have decimated the deer and elk herds, they take pleasure in running down and killing any domestic dog they see...and they will attack humans..
