Petition | Say NO to Idaho’s wolf and coyote derby! | English.
After being de-listed from their federal protection status, over 800 wolves have been killed in the state of Idaho. As it appears, this has not been enough: authorities are planning to organize some contests hunts in which professional gunners will be sent in the wild and try bring back as many “trophies” as possible.
Such despicable wolf and coyote “derby’ are scheduled for the 28th and 29th of December. Ironically, organizers claim this is an event dedicated to children too, as it will consist in cash prizes and trophies for the hunter who catches the largest wolf and kills the most coyotes.
In the ’60 wolves faced extinction in the lower 48 states. There have been grueling efforts to restore the wolves into the American landscape.
Now Idaho authorities are prepared to throw all these efforts to the bin. Please sign the petition and tell Idaho agency heads, high-ranking officials and organizers to stop this useless event.
