Letters to the Editor

Bianchetti letter: Poaching

I opened the Feb. 18 Statesman only to see animals, most of which are being killed unlawfully. Idaho Fish and Game is supposed to look over what is going on with the legal and illegal hunters and poachers. Susan Westervelt’s letter to the editor was truthful, enduring, and as I would gladly help fund Idaho Fish and Game as well. I fear for the future generations to be able to see a live animal before they are destroyed or extinct. Hunters and poachers, please think before you shoot. God made the animals for a reason. You can find that info in the “good book.” Please consider the thought before you go out and hunt down animals. Wolves and bears have been on this earth long before we were. Just a thought and concern.
