Phil Hart: Declaring a State of Emergency
By Cassandra Anderson
November 28, 2011
Idaho State Representative Phil Hart became concerned about the federal government's illegal introduction of Canadian gray wolves in Idaho because they pose a public danger. The federal government and Idaho agreed to allow a population of 100 wolves into the state, but the Canadian wolf population far exceeds that number now, and is estimated to be 1000 to 2000 wolves that can weigh as much as 140 to 180 pounds. The federal government mismanaged the wolf program under the Endangered Species Act.
The wolves are now a very serious threat to humans and livestock because they carry disease and tapeworms. Tapeworms from wolf feces can be fatal to humans; it is especially alarming that tapeworms can remain dormant for 20 years.
Phil Hart, working with Dane vonBriechenruardt, director of the US Bill of Rights Foundation and a team of legislators including Judy Boyle, devised a creative plan to protect the people of Idaho: legislation was written to declare a State of Emergency to place the power with the State, removing it from federal agencies. Declaring a State of Emergency can be used as a model for other issues that threaten life and property, and to preserve the 10th Amendment and States' Rights.
Just before the State of Emergency bill was to be signed into law, Congress de-listed the Canadian gray wolves, which transferred control from the federal government to the state. It appears that the feds may have wanted to avoid a confrontation over the 10th Amendment.
Federal court jurisdiction is limited to federal statutes, so the feds would have had no authority if a State of Emergency was declared under State police power.

think about it
where do the wolves get Tapeworms from?
by eating infected animals ie the small rodents and game they eat
so is the state willing to go worm all the wild critters?
we have dingos in Aus, they and foxes also cause much grief to farm animals, as well as escaped or dumped pets gone feral.
baiting with 1080 is the govt answer, its a lousy answer, apart from the extended duration before death in horrendous pain, the baits kill non target species and peoples pets.
Paid trackers and shooters is probably the kindest way to eradicate them.
Management of herds like bringing into the home block all calving cows and sheep is also smart, saves birthing deaths and animal attacks.
theres a good reason shepherds used to live out with the herds. time we looked at doing it again.
That was the whole idea. Whatever traction the citizens are enjoying right now is rooted in the Constitution or framing their efforts in a negative light. We all know this move is persuant to the Wildlands Project. Ted Turner, a devout population reduction A21 cronie set a bunch of these pooches loose on his property. Phil Hart; a public servant serving the public, what a concept. Hope it catches on...quick!
This is not unlike the NBC executive who claimed that failing to end streaming piracy (which I do not approve of) would put corn farmers out of business because movie pirates don't eat popcorn. Not only did he not know the difference between sweet corn and popcorn, but he doesn't know much about pirates either. Just making stuff up as he went along.

so can the feds just do whatever they want where i live since the state has no say so regarding what they like to call minore matters such as jet streams?
can they put wild animals in our backyards as if we wouldnt notice? cuz ive lived there since i was very young. the bears are long gone, and weve never had wolves, coyoes sometimes, and mountain ions, every few years, but i cant recall us ever having to worry about shyt like this. also why are all the horses an cows laying down? horses even stand in their sleep, i thought those animals stomachs turn over and they die eventually if they lay to long? when animals are acting weird,good thing the rez where i live isnt near a volcano, cuz i feel like there will be earthquakes
