BOISE, Idaho A wildlife advocacy group is urging federal officials to disqualify Idaho from receiving $18 million in wildlife management funds in response to legislation passed by Idaho lawmakers that could lead to the killing of up to 90% of the state s wolves.

Please contact your State Representative and ask them to OPPOSE LD 1015.
Legislative Document 1015 prohibits the use of lead ammunition when hunting. The use of lead ammunition is under attack by anti-hunting and anti-gun extremists who ignore science and misinform policymakers and the public on the effects of extremely small amounts of lead.
