Killing entire wolf packs from helicopters. Gassing helpless pups in their dens. Surgically sterilizing alpha wolf pairs after killing off their families.

It’s all part of a disturbing plan to escalate wolf killing in the Northern Rockies by Wildlife Services -- the federal agency that helped exterminate wolves last century.

The Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program now wants to help Idaho officials kill off entire packs from helicopters. They are proposing to use poisonous gas to kill newborn pups and their mothers in dens. And they want to surgically sterilize alpha wolf pairs -- a practice never before used

The Wildlife Services plan to escalate the killing of protected wolves is just the latest threat to these magnificent animals. Idaho officials continue to push their plan to kill up to 80 percent of the wolves in the central part of the state. Wyoming continues to pursue its shoot-on-sight wolf plan. And anti-wolf extremists are even prepared to take matters into their own hands by offering instructions on how to poison wolves.

The terrible Wildlife Services plan contains some of the most brutal and least effective ways to manage wolves -- and can even cause more conflicts between ranchers and these magnificent animals.
