BOISE, Idaho (AP) – A member of an Idaho board that manages money to pay a federal and state agency to kill wolves that attack livestock and big game says a $200,000 budget request by Gov. Brad Little is sufficient for fiscal year 2020.
Wolf Depredation Control Board member Carl Rey also told the budget-setting Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee on Wednesday the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services confirmed 109 wolf kills of livestock between July 1 and Sept. 30 last year.
The board also contracts with and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to kill wolves.
The state agency last year estimated Idaho has 90 packs with six to nine wolves per pack.
The board is scheduled to end its work in June but legislation is planned to keep the board operating.

Leave the wolves alone
Do not give more money to KILL wolves! Wolves are essential to our ecosystem and they take the sick or weak. Are we going to kill all predators? Our wildlife is going to dye.
#BANGRAZINGALLOTMENTS #BANBOBFERGUSON #STANDFORWOLVES.
PLEASE let OUR WOLVES LIVE,
Protect all wolves. Stop the killing.
Listen to the science. Wolves are essential. It has been proven the ecosystem needs wolves to protect all life.
What are people doing to let these unconscious unaware people know that we are against their archaic, deadly actions?
If everyone could take a few minutes and email, write, call these people in Idaho (and Eastern Washington) to let them know that we venhemetly oppose their actions and that we are blasting all of our social media accounts against this.
There is power in numbers. Change starts with us.
