If Butch Otter is determined to drive the wolves out of Idaho, perhaps they could do as I did and find refuge in Washington. From the AP:

State forms committee to plan for wolf's possible return

Idaho's new governor may want to shoot wolves, but a diverse Washington state group will meet to determine what type of welcome mat will be laid out for any wolves that take up housekeeping here...

Here are some Idaho Wolves - Myths and Facts for the new governor, who declared "I'm going to bid for the first ticket to shoot a wolf," at a rally on the Statehouse steps last week. To give you a flavor of the fervor of the eliminationist overlap on display there, one picketer's sign said, "Wolves are Illegal Immigrants."

Here are a few good Idahoans who don't think that way - maybe they can redeem the beautiful but dumb state we love:
