Oh, ok.  I got it now.  You want to ban herbicide use for timber companies because you think it makes the elk sick and unfit for consumption, but the ag producers will get to spray all the herbicides they want on our food supply?  Yes, perfectly logical policy you've got going there.  Let me know how your brilliant idea plays out.  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

If ranchers affected by wolves can't find ways to adapt then they will go out of business.  Millions and millions of businesses go under every year because of changes outside their control...adapt or you will not survive...I see no difference between ranchers and any other line of business in that context.  I applaud this guys efforts to looking for solutions instead of crying about something that is not going to change. 

these auto companies feed America.  Have you ever driven an imported car ?  They barely run if your lucky and sometimes rust to pieces.  These are not just any other business, they are part of American culture, help keep us more self sufficient, and are regulated for our protection.  These are the type of businesses that should have been bailed out, they should be important to all of us.

Fixed it for ya.

Free trade sucks. It was great for ranchers and farmers until they got stuck by it too. 

What a joke!

If we want free trade with NZ sheep then we need to drop a bunch of wolves there too.

Australia has their own K9 problems with dingo's,  so they built the worlds longest fence.

Australia also has very favorable trade terms with us now and the country is effectively swimming in cows.

Wolves are not why domestic beef is more expensive these days. It's not unfair to say that they'll have a rather insignificant impact even in the long haul. Weather and feed prices, that's another story.

If this sheep rancher lived in WA he wouldn't have a wolf problem, it would be everything but wolves. Thanks to the folks in ID, MT and Wyoming, through trial and error, WA ranchers do have some special management recipes that were passed around. :tup:

 WDFW can keep ignoring wolves until they are forced to confirm again.
