WA Wildlife Commission to consider amending Wildlife interaction Rules - Wolves

[bearpaw]

Currently the masses think they want these frolicking, cuddly, wolves, once wolves hit the masses in the pocket book and wolves start eating pets in the I-5 suburbs, then wolves will need managed because the I-5 masses will want wolf management.

And just like IDFG, WDFW will then leap to their feet and exclaim that the wolves need to be controlled, after of course the damage has been done, and there is no chance that hunting seasons on wolves will have any affect.

Hold a meeting like that in Stevens County, Ferry County, Okenogan county ETC

WDFW don't like having meetings where they get told what they can do with there wolves, they would rather hold meetings where the majority of those attending don't have to contend with wolves killing their livestock or chitting in their yard.

that...and Stevens CO is a lost cause.  Minds are made up, lines drawn and crossed.

Stevens county isn't a lost cause.
 They told me last year they shot all of them!! Why not believe them.

Besides when we were the only folks who had wolves the majority of the folks on here could have cared less they weren't in their yards!!

Now since they have branched out it is HIGH time to do something!!!

Guess I have as much sympathy for them as they did for our backyard!!!   

Like the song say's:

My Give a Damn is busted!!!

The true impact of wolves is not being seen by the public yet, because WDFW fail to report them. Instead they lie, just as they lied when they said they took out the full pack last year.

What they didn't tell folks is there was more then one wolf pack, just as is in the Methow Valley and other counties. In the Methow they could have confirmed three other packs in 2008, but by confirming only one they are off the hook for other packs, which still doesn't stop them from lying about the one pack they did confirm.  When pressed on the issue of confirming more wolf packs,  their excuse is it is too expensive to monitor wolf packs for confirming at this time. It's total BS.

I probably understand your frustration better than most, and if the truth were to be told, I highly doubt anything will be done until the impacts the wolves are causing can't be hidden from the public anymore.

Three to four years ago many people thought WDFW would be responsible, they wouldn't, or couldn't believe WDFW would throw them under the bus. Now I see a change in their thinking. People are becoming aware that WDFW are not interested in hunting. WDFW have and are protecting predators while refusing to a-dress the impact too many predators are having on the game herds. Look how long it took IDFG to acknowledge the impact wolves were having on their game herds, WDFW is the new IDFG, directed by the USFWS.

A few short years ago people had more open minds in Stevens County, the new mindset here is the result of the actions of WDFW. As wolves invade additional counties and the WDFW denies the truths about wolves, more counties will be changed like has happened in Stevens County. This meeting in western WA is a perfect example of why the people in Stevens County feel the way they do. Sadly WDFW probably don't even care, all they are concerned about is satisfying the millions of west side wolf worshippers whom they view as a cash cow.

  Your all spot on
