(INAPPROPRIATE COMMENT DELETED) This is so typical of the sick mentality in federally subsidized Idaho farm and ranch community.

ohmigosh, you mean those hard-working, time-pressed ranchers and sheep herders will not have to spend time building blinds, arguing with their wives about which dog to tie, and spend hours sitting around waiting for their pets to howl on cue? Wonder when they’ll get any of that other hard work done. Oh, oh, maybe they can lease out the blind to the other heroic types who have more time and like to shoot animals without engaging in sportsmanship.

Siddoway used to be on the Fish & Game Commission and seems to have a hatred for the department. It sounds to me like he put up that ludicrous bill to try and take a stab at the agency, rather than out of any interest in solutions. (Shocking behavior for an Idaho politician, I know. /sarcasm)

This bill is beyond repugnant. There is a program to reimburse ranchers for livestock and unless there is something screwy with the parameters of reimbursement why would anyone put poor Sophie out as wolf bait. As big and fast as a wolf can be the dog would be dead in an instant if a pack went after the dog.

Statehouse Like Animal House, But Dumber

That may be… but I bet it’s not as fun now that McGee isn’t there mashing beer cans on his forehead!

boisetaxpayer – as a citizen who likes to eat food that used to “moooo” (and occasionally food that used to “baaaaa”), I support the notion of grazing on public lands. But checks/balances are totally appropriate… that IS taxpayer land.

Rod – IMO you seem to be straying off-topic. Unless the topic is Legislature-bashing in general, or you believe that the untrasound procedure should be prohibited in the animal cruelty legislation.

Did I hear correctly that some wingnut introduced a bill to require someone to get a vaginal ultrasound before getting an abortion? Now that’s cruelty to people. Those people need to take their religion back to the 12th century with them.

People like Jeff Siddoway make me sick with his unethical, self serving, disguisting ideology that disrespects the wildlife and public land that is the property of the all Idahoans.
I would like to have a bill proposed that prohibits any grazing rights on public lands without exception. Any privately owned sheep or cattle caught on public land could be shot immediately and confiscated.
The wolf hunting season seems to be working well enough to help control wolf population.
Siddoway – leave the wolves alone. If you want to shoot one, buy a tag to do so. Keep your livestock on your own land and you won’t have so many issues with predators. Please take Sophie to the local Humane Society so she may be cared for and hopefully go to a good home one fine day.

Will we now see proposed legislation that allows the legal use of underage children to lure sex offenders? Siddoway’s proposal is just another example of the “crap” (word seems to fit here) kinds of bills we’ve seen introduced this pathetic session. Legislators: please go home before you cause any more damage than you already have so far this session and the previous one. Methinks Sophie needs a new home and the Statehouse needs new “lawmakers.”

Thank you.
