In just a few days one animal rights group is calling for a boycott of
one of Idaho's biggest exports, potatoes.

The Connecticut based animal rights group is angry over Idaho's
proposed wolf hunts that are supposed to start on Tuesday, September
1st.

The group called Friends of Animals is urging those in opposition of
the hunts to boycott Idaho grown potatoes. The group is also
criticizing Governor Butch Otter and his support of the wolf hunts.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is putting the warning out
though that Tuesday's wolf hunt doesn't have a green light just yet.

A district judge in Montana still has to weigh in on environmental
groups efforts to stop the hunt as part of their push to have Federal
Endangered Species Act protections restored to the big predators that
now number over 1,600 Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

A hearing is scheduled for Monday where a final decision will be made.

The wolf hunts are supposed to start Tuesday in Idaho and on September
15th in Montana.

Idaho Fish and Game officials are asking hunters to check their
website at www.fishandgame.idaho.gov or call the toll free wolf hunt
information hotline at 1-877-872-3190 for more the latest information
on the court proceedings.

I only wish the AR types would apply logic like this more often... Think about it! We know they wont eat meat because it comes from animals. Now they don't people to eat potatoes because they might come froma state that will hunt animals. Maybe if they applied it to Iowa and didn't eat corn, or any other states vegtables or fruits because they allow hunting. Then if we could get them to apply it to foreign countries too! Like maybe rice producing countries that use animals to help in the culivating of fields to grow these foods. The limitations are endless! If we support them in their silly endevor, they might just starve themselves to death!

As for me, I'm going to go buy some potatoes! A BIG bag of too! Maybe make some hash browns with a little onion in there, some mashed taters too! Oooo, or even perogies! And I'll remember the wolf the whole time I'm eating! Of course and the antis who are starving for their noble cause!

Sorry- I thought you said IRA!

Guess the rest of us need to buy ONLY Idaho raised potatoes...Tom

Maybe if they boycott enough chickens, cows, and potatoes and such, they will all starve to death before they get enough laws passed to starve folks like me? Just a thought...shane

Idiots don't even realize that most "Idaho" potatoes are raised in Oregon, and we don't have a wolf hunt!

Well what does Idaho have that I can buy more of?

They might raise more sugar beets than we do, I'm not sure. I'd rather have cane sugar though.
