Hearing set in Wolf People license case

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.
