And so it goes ~~

Game and Fish also intends to complete a thorough review of all of the Fish and Wildlife Service research and management materials pertaining to wolves, and develop specific hunting and trapping regulations for the animals using that information.

AND WHO WILL PAY THIS BILL??? "And the department -- and by extension, taxpayers -- will have to pay for it all.

"We have a biennium budget request in the Legislature for $2.35 million to run that program," Rudd said. "That cost includes four permanent people, the purchase of radio collars, the cost of capturing wolves, the cost of monitoring wolves and dealing with depredation of livestock, and, of course, paying for the loss of livestock to wolves."

The budget request asks for more money for the first year than the second, to cover start-up costs. The request for year two is about $1 million.

AND HERE IS THE REAL HORROR, AERIAL HUNTING, BESIDES THE BRUTUALLY CRUEL PRACTICE OF TRAPPING - "When the department deems it necessary to destroy wolves, it will probably use "aerial removal" techniques, to shoot the wolves from helicopters, much the same way the Fish and Wildlife Service has done in recent years, Rudd said.

"I assume we would need to use the same technique, because that's been the experience so far. We may learn some different things, but that's been the technique the Fish and Wildlife Service has used successfully," Rudd said."

I am so sad and MAD for the wolves. They have no idea what's coming. We must STOP them.

is anyone surprised here? They will be gone within the next year when the administration changes - vote your conscience, but vote with your heart and soul this time. Everything we love and hold dear to us is at risk.
