Senate Approves Bill to Kill 90% of Idaho’s Wolves; Opposition Ensues
Senate Bill 1211 which calls for the killing of up to 90% of Idaho s wolf population was pushed through the senate on Thursday.
Republican Sen. Mark Harris testified on behalf of Idaho s agricultural industry claiming, “These wolves, there’s too many in the state of Idaho now, of which are destroying ranchers and wildlife and that the bill is needed.
