  • Pet Dogs Caught Up in Idaho’s Wolf-control Effort

    Last Friday, March 11, 2016, a dog was caught in a leghold trap in northern Idaho near the town of Clark Fork.  This is the second time this resident has had a dog caught by a leghold trap.  Another one of her dogs was killed on public lands by poison in 2010.  Setbacks for traps in Idaho are only 5 feet from the center of a trail on public land.
