Idaho plans to kill as many wolves as possible.

Idaho is one of the worst places to be a wolf. It’s one of just three states that allows wolves to be hunted down and killed — in fact, Idaho encourages killing as many wolves as possible.

In 2021, the state legislature passed a law aimed at killing 90% of the state’s wolves. Last year, the Idaho Fish & Game Commission unanimously voted for a plan to kill more than 800 of the state’s wolves.

Idaho will pay out bounties for killing wolves.

The state is pulling out all of the stops to make this vision a reality. They’ve set aside more than $1,000,000 to pay out bounties for killing wolves.3 This fall, when the state thought that too few wolves were being killed, the government even considered hiring hunters to come in and hunt wolves down from helicopters.
