The concept of "divide and rule" was masterfully executed by the Anti's some years back when a wave of "Propositions" swept the West regarding bear & cougar hunting and the use of bait and hounds. Fortunately we here in Idaho stood together and voted down the attempt to stop these practices. But in other states hunters split and ate each other in public. The result was of course the cessation of the practices in Washington State and since then the problems associated with the end to hounding and baiting.

As I understand it, the practices still go on, sort of, demanded by depredation and at taxpayer expense.

With the influx of "fer'ners" into Idaho I am not certain whether we could send the Anti's packing were we to be faced with another "attack", but the truth has had some time to get out about both critters when "left alone" and I don't think the Anti's are willing to tackle it anytime soon.
