Idaho Custom Ammo Maker Pleads Guilty To Attempt To Poison Wolves - Reuters

[hatrack]

SALMON, Idaho - An outspoken opponent of US government efforts to reestablish the gray wolf in western states has pleaded guilty to trying to poison the federally protected species, a US prosecutor said on Friday.

Tim Sundles, 48, planted meatballs laced with a poisonous pesticide in Idaho's remote Salmon-Challis National Forest in 2004 with the aim of killing wolves, said Assistant US Attorney Mike Fica. The meatballs instead poisoned a coyote, fox, magpies and three pet dogs, according to court records. He signed a written plea ahead of a scheduled trial next week.

Sundles could face as much as six months behind bars and five years probation.

In the past Sundles, a maker of custom ammunition, has said he and his wife were attacked by a wolf while camping in the Idaho wilderness five years ago and he shot the animal dead.

2. Idiot

The wolf's comeback has strengthened the ecosystem where they are
now living. In Yellowstone they helped the Elk, cutthroat trout, hawks,
wildflowers, and owls.

BTW there has never been an unprovoked attack of wolves on humans
in America.

I think this asshole should have to sit down to a big plate of those laced meatballs and chow down.

There was a thread today in the Lounge speculating on the origins of the term "assclown"

And here we have a perfect example of the type.

I really do. It would address our deer problem.
