I don't want any more money wasted on wolves than what has already been wasted. Wolves will go wherever they want on their own. They don't need our help.
If the wolf plan is determined to need changed in some way, then re-write it. I can't believe anyone would be in favor of this. Those that think it's a good idea, did you agree with what has been done by the USFWS in the past- moving wolves from Canada into Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming? If not, then why would you think this is okay?
To me it's a total waste of money, and the WDFW does not have extra ,money that just needs to be thrown away. If there's money for this then there's money to hire more enforcement officers and try to get poaching under control.

Obviously you are not too concerned about what happens to us in the NE until wolves are delisted, maybe if you shared in the many claimed benefits of wolves you would have a better understanding of why NE Washington residents are fed up and you would be more willing to help get them delisted! :dunno:

Sure I'm concerned, but that doesn't mean I want the state wasting money on moving wolves. If you're not aware, moving wildlife around is NOT cheap. Wolves are fully capable of moving themselves, with their own four feet.

I don't want them. I think a bill needs to be introduced to delist and drive them back to Canada. But seeing as that isn't likely, why not move them around...sooner you get them killing pooches on Mt Si and eating AlPacas in Olympia, sooner you'll get public sentiment to shift and get some management.

It doesn't have so much to do with MOVING the wolves, as SHARING the wolves with the people who really want them. That's what his last bill was about, and that is exactly what this is about. His area is affected by it, and is doing what the majority of his constituents what.

Who says it would have to cost much? I bet the ranchers in the NE would pay to trap and sedate even loan a few trailers for transport. :chuckle:

Just going by what Dave Ware says, I'd say it would cost plenty. How much does it cost to do studies for "years?"
--- Quote ---At a work session Thursday, Ware told the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee that moving wolves would require studying the environmental impacts. The studies would take years and by the time they were done, wolf recovery objectives would probably have been met, he said.
