Ranching endangered by growing wolf population, not the other way around

Ranchers etc. have learned it's too expensive and only prolongs the wolf predation if they ask WDFW etc. for help.

There's only 2 replies to the article so far but the first one is priceless!
It's hard to believe they spent $800,000 just to talk. Then again - it's a certain agency.
I would've done it for half that and I would've been honest.

"Managers in Oregon and Washington have struggled to come up with a plan to keep wolves under control. Washington even spent about $800,000 on a mediator to get various stakeholders — ranchers and environmentalists — together to talk about the problems wolves have created."




I went to one of the $800,000 meetings in the Okanogan, what a BS session. The mediator want to talk about how the environmentalists want to get to know everyone personally, have a cup of tea and figure out how we could all work together as the wolves slaughter the ungulates and livestock.

Everyone explained to her it wasn't the environmentalist that screwed WA but instead WDF&Wolves with their bogus wolf plan, refusing to confirm wolves that were killing livestock etc..

Talk about a waste of money.
