Hearing set in Wolf People license case
Keith Kinnaird News Editor | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 6 months AGO
SANDPOINT — A June 30 hearing is set in Wolf People’s bid to thwart a license suspension for allowing the public direct contact with captive wolves at its Cocolalla facility.
The Idaho Department of Fish & Game notified the wolf advocacy business earlier this year that its license to exhibit the predators would be suspended for a year because barriers were not erected to prohibit contact. Wolf People also did not post a bond to guarantee conformance with a consent agreement.
The consent agreement between Wolf People and Fish & Game was drafted in 2012 to resolve more than 40 violations of its commercial exhibition license.
