TWS PRESIDENT LANKA URGES WYOMING TO ADDRESS WOLF LAWS
From The Wildlife Society:
TWS President Bob Lanka testified in front of a Wyoming legislative committee asking lawmakers to address statutes that allow residents to kill or harass wolves from snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles in most of the state.
“The Wildlife Society suggests the legislature consider a very narrow, craft revision to statutory language so that it expressly forbids purposely running down and running over predatory animals with automotive vehicles, motorized wheeled or over-snow vehicles,” Lanka testified, according to the Jackson Hole News & Guide. “The word ‘purposely’ is important here, as it is not our intent to make a highway accident a criminal offense.”
