 Nothing in this title shall be construed to infringe on the right of a private property owner to control the owner's private property.

Seems this has also been broken with wolf introduction  :twocents:

SHB 1676 passed the state house unanimously 98-0.  Whether you think this bill is the right vehicle to get the job done, the symbolism of this vote his HUGE.  When it came to wolves, prior to this session, the only talk about wolves was wolf recovery and no talk about prey base or addressing predation issues.  This bill talks about keeping healthy prey populations, and the protection of prey bases from predators.  The fact it passed unanimously shows that legislators from both sides of the mountains support this is very telling.  To emphasize this further, the bill to allow more lethal control of wolves in regions where wolves meet certain criteria to increase social tolerance for wolves, and the animal rights people where dead set against this bill, HB 2107, also passed unanimously 98-0.

Shouldn't studies that this bill is requiring to be done have been performed PRIOR to creation and implementation of the ridiculous wolf management plan?

I'm glad it passed.

You hit the nail on the head Curly.  That is the $128,000 question.  Why wasn't this done before the wolf plan passed, or at worst case, started immediately after it passed?  Years later, still nothing from WDFW, or the Commission.  I am glad the legislature took action.  How long were we supposed to wait for the Commission to do something?
