Cougar Quota increase killed by Anti hunting groups.

[jasnt]

"Estimates put Washington's cougar population at over 3,000 animals, with more than 200 a year killed by hunters."  That adds up to 6.67%

"The recommended quota, based on in-state university research, has been 12 to 16 percent of the cougar population – but the commission increased the number to 17 to 21 percent in some hunting management units."

So we could kill  over 400 a year and still be in the recommended quota

We don't even come close to filling recommended cougar harvest according to the research.  This state is going to unmanage it's self to total chaos!  Before we know it we will be public commented right out of beloved passions to the anti common sence folks

I pointed both of these inaccuracies out in the replies and they deleted my post in less than 5 minutes.  Imagine that.

 It's not about truth...

Doesnt it mean anything to them that they have to lie to support the agenda??

 Um no.......as with most libs, the actual truth or facts are of no concern.

I heard on the news - yeah, I know - that the justification for the quota increase being killed was that it was not subject to a public comment period.  Anyone know whether the implementation of the quota system was subject to a public comment period?

Well, there was a thread about it on here when it was in the works, myself and some others wrote letters supporting the quota increase.  It was public knowledge, there was time to comment for anybody who cared to do so.

They won't be happy with comment periods either, they'll want town hall meetings, visits by politicians, long drawn out impact studies, etc.  The Navy is going through the greenie stall tactics over here.  They want to do some training, but the greenies are all over the FS trying to prevent the permit.  Long comment period that only got maybe 100 comments.  But the greenies ran to lawyers, Reps/Sens, now have change.org petitions, weekly newsletters have to be put out.  Guess they needed enough time to get all their support from California, New York, UK, France, etc to inflate their numbers.  They are even trying to find ways to get the guy from the FS fired because he isn't 'representing their interest'.

I don't know what you expected. HSUS makes their living by telling lies. They would have to go out of business if they told the truth.

Actually, your comment somehow made it past the moderators, but mine didnt so i reposted it.  I think its pretty civilized, not insulting.  We will see if it makes it this time. 

The article says “lets be clear, nobody eats cougars” This is incorrect, cougar meat is highly prized, people eat cougar all the time. In fact, in WA you are legally required to salvage the meat from a cougar you kill. The article also is implying that the reason for the quota increase is to prevent cougar attacks on people. It was actually proposed as a way to help adjust for the increased predation on our deer elk and moose from the growing wolf population. The quota increase is only for areas with the highest wolf densities.

Let's all go comment over there! Try to make good sensible points that they won't delete... Because I'm sure they are fair and balanced....

It says this right down by the comment section.  The HSUS encourages open discussion, and we invite you to share your opinion on our issues.  Apparently that doesnt apply to me though.

I've tried posting 3 times now. Each comment was abiding by their rules. They deleted them all. Freakin commie liberals.

Yup, so much for their "open discussion" huh?

Yeah, I directly called them out in my last post. I'm sure they just chuckle while they hit delete. It's all about controlling information. If they control the information that the majority sees, they can sway people based on emotions.

I comment to the director weekly, they used to be curtious and pleasant!
Hey aren't they public servants?

[Bango skank]
