Next week, Idaho Fish and Game will hold public comment meetings on its wolf hunting plan, including proposals that could allow hunters to kill young pups in summer and wolves during denning season, and use aerial radio telemetry devices to track and kill wolves.

A few of the worst proposals being considered are…

* Extreme. Under the proposed plan, hunters are not prohibited from using aerial telemetry tracking devices to track and kill wolves.
* Unfair. One of the proposed hunting seasons is 7 months long, much longer than for any other big game species in the state. This could result in four month old pups being shot, or else left without adult wolves to feed and protect them.
* Indiscriminate. Some in the state are pushing for hunting during the denning season, when wolves and packs are especially vulnerable, and females are heavy with pups.
* Overkill. Idaho Fish and Game plans to reduce the Idaho wolf population by 25% or more. Such aggressive targets threaten the long-term survival of wolves.

-You can even choose to not get the plushie, but still get the other stuff if you want-
Basically, you can buy a wolf plushie from this site, and there are different ones that cost different amounts of money. When you buy one of these, you get: the wolf plushie(s), an adoption certificate, a wolf photo, and a wolf fact sheet. It's a really good deal, and you can get one for as cheap as $25.00, the best part of it is that the money goes to Defenders of Wildlife to help them save the wolves!
