     BOISE, Idaho (CN) – Idaho and the federal government are illegally using a hired gun to exterminate native gray wolves in Idaho to save elk for human hunters, environmentalists claim in court.
Defenders of Wildlife et al. claim the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) hired a “hunter-trapper” in December 2013 to “eradicate” wolves in a remote area of the 2.3 million-acre Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.
The unidentified “agent” is authorized to use a Forest Service airstrip and cabin as a base while he kills wolves in the Golden Creek and Monumental Creek packs.
