Article from the Outdoorsman

This was forwarded by Keith Lunders, who wrote the following note:

For those following the articles and debate about the newly introduced tapeworm disease this information might be enlightening, even if, or especially because, it exposes the deliberate deceit of a once trusted government agency (F&G) that instead of minimizing the impact of this plague should be enraged about and demanding remedial action from those responsible for the introduction of this ecological disaster into our living space.  NO ONE IS IMMUNE FROM IT!  SPREAD THE WORD - WHETHER OR NOT YOU HUNT OR GO TO THE WOODS, YOU WILL SOMEDAY BE EXPOSED, AND MOST LIKELY ALREADY HAVE BEEN.  AS THE ARTICLE POINTS OUT, WOLF ERADICATION IS THE ONLY EFFECTIVE CONTROL.  

     From personal observation and accounts of wolf encounters from other area residents I believe it's safe to say that there isn't one resident of north central Idaho who hasn't had wolves in their backyard, whether they know it or not.  Sightings have been reported to me around or in nearly every town in the region with the exception of Lewiston, and there are reportedly at least 3 known packs in Nez Perce Co.  It's not rocket science that until wolves wear diapers or become box trained, they will leave their infected calling cards wherever they visit in the form of "scat".  They are literally spreading this infestation door to door throughout the Northwest while our governor and the state Fish and Game Department minimize the real impact it'll have on our lives.  They deserve neither our votes nor our support in the form of license/tag fees.  Think about it.
