More than 30 wildlife conservation groups today urged the U.S. Forest Service to prohibit Idaho from paying private contractors to shoot wolves from aircraft in national forests in central and southeastern Idaho. The Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board recently approved the controversial predator control measure.

Specifically, today’s letter asked the Forest Service to grant a 2023 petition from the Center for Biological Diversity. The petition explained that gunning down wolves from helicopters risks harm to other wildlife like grizzly bears and Canada lynx, as well as public safety and wilderness values.

If the Forest Service fails to promptly grant the petition, the groups may consider legal action in federal court.

“Recreationists should not have to worry about their safety while enjoying our public lands,” said Christine Gertschen, co-director of the Conservation Connection Foundation.

“Aerial gunning is dangerous for all concerned, especially for our native wildlife.”

The Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board is funded primarily by tax dollars. The proposals approved for funding could allow aerial gunning across much of Idaho, including lands in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, Boise National Forest, Salmon-Challis National Forest, Sawtooth National Forest and Payette National Forest.

“Aerial gunning prioritizes wolf killings over the health and safety of our shared forests,” said Sasha Truax, presidents of Teens Restoring Earth’s Environment. “It is a twisted abuse of public funding and its continuance exposes the brutality of wolf management on public lands. It must be stopped.”

I may not be very comfortable with explicit fic, but I still wish that I had the skill to write BLT Burgers' first time. T_T

Hello, I was reading your blog and noticed some posts suggesting you might be from Idaho. If you are then I wanted to let you know that in this year's upcoming elections you will have an opportunity to vote for one of your fellow Tumblr users!

I'm sure you know r4cs0 since he is widely known as the "Tumblr famous" blogger responsible for such memorable posts as the Metal Gear Solid twerking simulator and  the post which resulted in the Tumblr developers implementing Tumblr Live! What you may not know is that his real name is Carlos Albuquerque and he lives in Idaho! This november he will be running for a spot on the Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board (IWDCB)! I strongly encourage you to vote for Albuquerque!

As I'm sure you know, wolves are responsible for almost all the evils of society today! Catholic priests raping kids? Wolves did it. Who collapsed that bridge in Baltimore? Wolves, of course! All those protests organized at the DNC this year? Wolves, the Prince of Wolves to be specific! He is behind a conspiracy of wolves all across the country designed to overthrow our government! It's time for us to sharpen our bear traps, load up our rifles and hop in our helicopters to finally rise against the wolf menace!

By casting your vote for Carlos "r4cs0" Albuquerque this fall, you strike the first blow which will one day end the threat of wolves once and for all! For every vote r4cs0 receives this election, he has vowed to slay at least one wolf and bury it upside down on the consecrated ground of a gay bar. Do your part to save our democracy by casting a vote for Albuquerque!

You can count on me!

Stupid wolves.

I just watched a video with all the different yautjas in predator hunting grounds and I saw this Viking guy

I realised that Bahk’tan also has a skull on one of his shoulders, fur, an axe and 2 wristblades. I LOVE Vikings so… I will most likely give Bahk’tan some Vikings equipment (if I find motivation 💀)

PARA RECORDAR

Elle Fanning será la protagonista de la nueva película de Depredador que se llamará 'BADLANDS'. Este evento estará situada en algún futuro. Dan Trachtenberg ('PREY') será el director.

Y por otro lado, la secuela de 'PREY' sigue en desarrollo. La actriz Amber Midthunder volvería a retomar su papel como Naru.

[madwickedawesome]

listening to wannabe and ice ice baby in rapid succession and writing a paper abt depredation on this fine tuesday night

[calandrinon]

Not to distract at all from the message of this comic but I was sure there was a Gengar in the "what eventually happened" panel :)

I talked a lot as a kid, and I learned that it didn't matter what i said because nobody was really paying attention any more. So now I don't take myself seriously and if it looks like someone is about to take me seriously then I have to be extra absurd so they won't.

We’re all important! Never forget that.

On October 26th, the Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board (IWDCB) approved allocating over $140,000 to private contractors for aerial gunning, trapping, and snaring wolves in Idaho. The decision was made with no opportunity for comment or public review.

Trevor C. Walch, operator of the Nevada-based Predator Control Corporation, presented three of the five hunting proposals and is poised to be the primary beneficiary of three of the contracts to be executed by the Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board, totaling over $100,000. His extensive record of violating wildlife laws has been uncovered since the meeting. In Nevada, this record includes selling furs without a license and trapping practices that the Nevada Chief Game Warden labeled “blatant illegal behavior.” Walch left an elk calf and other animals in traps for over ten days to die of dehydration and starvation. In Wyoming, Walch has been investigated for unlawful aerial hunting over federal lands.

Game Management Units 48 and 49 are home to the Wood River Wolf Project, which has been successfully working directly with ranchers, sheep herders, and community members in Blaine County since 2008 to promote coexistence with wolves and prevent livestock losses. The 2023 field season concluded in October, resulted in zero confirmed sheep losses to wolves amongst the 24,000 sheep in the 1,200 sq km (about half the area of Yosemite National Park) project area. The project regularly documents the lowest sheep losses to wolves in Idaho’s wolf range. Yet now, the state has targeted wolves in the Wood River Wolf Project’s area to be exterminated without cause.

Ranchers currently managing sheep in the Project Area were not notified of this decision. Since being notified of these proposals after the meeting, the Flat Top Sheep Company owners have withdrawn from the scheme and Lava Lake Land & Livestock’s owner and President Brian Bean has denounced the effort for its wasteful spending and risk of harm to the public. Bean points out that pack disruption through partial lethal control will likely cause more, not fewer, wolf conflicts with livestock as individual survivors; especially as inexperienced juveniles, spread across the landscape and no longer subject to pack social discipline, turn to killing livestock for survival.

“The collective expense of these wolf depredation mitigation programs exceeds the total value of livestock killed, statewide, in Idaho. Much of that expense is borne by Idaho taxpayers — for no good reason,” says Bean.

“Nonlethal deterrents work. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, year after year, to kill wolves — at this point, often pre-emptively and without evidence that wolves have actually killed livestock — says a lot about Idaho politics, about the Idaho State Legislature, about Idaho politicians generally and about the Idaho Wolf Livestock Depredation Control Board itself which only funds killing wolves with nothing allocated to nonlethal depredation mitigation. Is this good governance and program administration? Emphatically not. Rather, it’s expensive, wasteful, vindictive, and immoral,” states Bean, concluding, “It’s also, unfortunately, very much today’s Idaho.”  

“The Wood River Wolf Pack in Blaine County is among those targeted by the Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board, yet wolves here have the best record of living beside tens of thousands of sheep peacefully for 16 straight years. This year, ranchers in our project area reported no loss of sheep to the Wood River wolves with over 24,000 sheep present during the 2023 grazing season, making it one of the most successful years on record,” says Suzanne Asha Stone, IWCN Director. “By targeting this population of research wolves that are proving that nonlethal methods are more effective in protecting livestock than randomly killing wolves and other native carnivores, the state of Idaho is blatantly refusing to coexist with any wolves. Period.”

“These wolves live on our public lands that belong to all Americans,” she adds. “Our local community doesn’t want the state to kill our wolves. By enriching biodiversity and helping protect against catastrophic disease in elk and deer, they make essential contributions to a healthy ecosystem.”

“The Wolf Depredation Control Board’s decision to funnel more state money into private hands to kill wolves is just further evidence that the state will stop at nothing to get rid of the species,” says Talasi Brooks of Western Watersheds Project, an Idaho-based nonprofit. “It’s an affront to science-based wildlife management and a terrible waste of more than thirty years of work to bring wolves back.”
