Westervelt letter: Game baiting

The Idaho Fish and Game wants to prohibit the use of electronic communication between hunters to pass the word on wildlife locations because it breaks fair chase and ethical hunting rules, but baiting does not? Bear baiting, and Fish and Game’s proposed wolf baiting plan, is as unethical, cowardly, and lazy as “hunting” can get. If you think any kind of baiting as a “hunting” practice should end, let Idaho Fish and Game know your thoughts by July 26th.

Susan Westervelt, Deary
