including #wolves being trapped and shattering their teeth in desperate attempts to escape, and hunters receiving financial reimbursement for wolf kills – including pups.
Expanded #WolfHunting laws and financial incentives, such as reimbursements for kills, have removed nearly all protections for wolves in #Idaho. These changes allow year-round trapping and hunting with no limits on the number of wolves killed or #protections

A #wolf was hunted, tortured and killed -- and almost all of it was #legal
This might be the most horrifying story I've read since #WolfHunting became legal again.
A #Wyoming #hunter recently ran down and crippled a wolf with his #snowmobile.
Then the hunter #taped the wolf's mouth shut, and forced her to limp around the local bar while he posed for #photos with the suffering animal.

168: Coexistence with Wolves in Estonia with Helen Arusoo
https://open.spotify.com/episode/2SacXgnHbTR90b9C9AIjJQ
On my podcast, we talk a lot about coexistence with large carnivores and the challenges it poses. Some of those challenges might seem insurmountable to some. To shed some light on overcoming these hurdles, I contacted Helen Arusoo, an Estonian nature journalist and the leader of the National Animal Working Group. In this conversation, we talk about how Estonia overcame these hurdles and created something that I would consider the gold standard of coexistence with large carnivores.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of our time was spent discussing wolves as they seem to be the most difficult carnivore species to coexist with, at least in the northern hemisphere. However, we did discuss other large carnivores like bears too. Our conversation focused mostly on social and cultural factors. We also touched on the European Commission’s proposal to lower the protection status of wolves, something we’ve discussed extensively in one of the previous episodes.
It was a wonderful conversation and I enjoyed speaking with Helen. Her profound understanding of the challenges of coexistence is impressive. She presented a deeply thought-out perspective and I can only wish that more people who care about wolves could learn from her experience and the Estonian model of coexistence with large carnivores.

"Wolves are a beautiful animal that should be protected under Manitoba law, animal rights activists say.
“They are hunted for fun, for sport, and for their fur. No one eats wolf meat,” said Camille Labchuk, an animal rights lawyer and executive director of Animal Justice." "
#Canada #Manitoba #WolfHunting
#Idaho 's state government has decided to slaughter most of the #wolves living in the state.
They've set a goal of knocking the population down from 1300 to just 500, and they want to do it in just six years.
That will mean dramatically expanding #WolfHunting and #trapping across the state. This is an #emergency for Idaho wolves. 🐺
