BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- An anti-wolf activist in central Idaho whose Web site tells how to poison wolves has been charged with placing bait with intent to kill wolves, and unauthorized use of a pesticide on U.S. Forest Service land.

Federal authorities filed the complaint Oct. 13 against Tim Sundles of Carmen. He is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court on Tuesday in Pocatello. Both charges are misdemeanors and each carries a maximum penalty of a $100,000 fine and six months in jail. The bait charge is a violation of the Endangered Species Act.

Sundles, an ammunition-maker critical of the federal government for returning wolves to Idaho, said he views the charges as retribution for his anti-wolf activism.

1. This guy is a complete asshole...along with

people in Wyoming and Montana clamoring to de-list the grizzly bear from the Endagered Species List, so that they can have a griz-hunting season.

11. It's like those fucks

that hunt "exotic" animals inside a fenced ranch.

2. next time i'm caught speeding...

i'll just tell the judge "I view these charges as retribution for my anti-speed-limit activism!"

I will report back at the appropriate time to let you all know how that worked out for me.

3. Quick list the total # of unprovoktd wolve attacks in N.A. on people?

The answer is zero.

Returning the Wolf to Yellowstone helped trout, hawks, wildflowers,
and the elk. That guy believed the idiocy that is produced by
dumb asses who control by fear and emotion.

5. Ranchers shot most all our wolves released here in NM,

Just curious, how did the wolf help the trout, and wild flowers?

9. By forcing the Elk to act more like elk and not land cows.

Aspen Groves are clones and the individual trees are not long
lived but "new" trees always pop up from the roots. The ungulates
(hoofed mammals) would graze out the new aspens .......

Bring in the Wolf and the Aspens get a better chance grow and if they
grow by the creeks they shade the creek and make it cooler and
insects drop from the branches and feed the trout ...... happy trout

The wildflowers that grew in the Aspen groves did not get eaten
as much because the Elk could no longer "hang out" in the Aspen
groves without fear of become a wolf lunch.

Hawks did better because the Elk didn't mow the meadows down
as low ..... the field mice and jack rabbits did better and the birds
of prey did better in turn.

Sure, some cattle & sheep get preyed on by wolves but the farmers
can be paid for their looses and problem wolves killed. The farmers
don't know that the creeks will have better water with wolves around
too.

6. Helped the songbirds in their riparian habitat, too. By

changing the grazing habits of the elk.

4. Hey Sundles . . . here's a little hint for you . . .

THE WOLVES WERE THERE FIRST, YOU'RE ON THEIR LAND.

7. To me placing poison out in the woods is barbaric

Many different critters will die because of this barbaric action. If you don't like wolves go hunt wolves but don't poison every beast in the woods. This guy has to be a Republican if he is at all political because this is the way Republicans operate as well.

8. Transferred to todays political climate,

Don't like liars, but rather than poison the whole country to "get em", hunt liars. Be vewy, vewy quiet.......

[Toots]

10. Yes I agree Rush Limbaugh is a good example, spreading poisonous LIES

:shrug: There is a huge list of others that do the same thing and all seem to be Republicans....
