The petition calls for supporters to, Help protect wolves and end the United States War on Wolves.
The Idaho State Senate approved a bill to allow the killing of 90 percent of Idaho s 1,500 wolves on April 21, and it passed the State House of Representatives on April 27. Ranchers say that the wolves attack cattle, sheep, and wildlife, costing them thousands of dollars a year.
Senator Mark Harris, a rancher who sponsored the bill, said during debates at the Senate in April: These wolves, there s too many in the state of Idaho now. We re supposed to have 15 packs, 150 wolves. They re destroying ranchers. They re destroying wildlife. This is a needed bill.
