Looks like the tree huggers got it stopped because WDFW didn't do an environmental impact study.

If that's the excuse, it would seem there should be a environmental impact study on the diseases the fake endangered wolves spread across the country?

Wonder how long it took WDFW and their partners to come up with that excuse? Or what the next one will be, this reminds me of the USFWS and their fake environmental partners suing at every turn to stop delisting.

I went to one of the meetings with WDFW's million dollar consultant, she want to talk about how the  environmentalists just wanted to sit down with those of us who didn't like wolves dumped on us, have a cup of tea and get to know each other better.

The people I was with promptly told her we hadn't had any trouble with the fake environmentalists yet, but WDF&Wolves had lied to us at every turn. Welcome to the fraud and corruption of WA's wolf introduction.

Gee willakers! How predictable was that Batman! I know it will never happen that wolves will go. (well, at least not all of them, heh heh)

Is that your chicken or are you just helping the little guy out?

Why is an EIS necessary?   They created a wolf management plan in what, 2011? That should be all they need.

Or maybe it's past time to revise the dumb wolf plan?

So, did the court mandate damage payments, seems the judicial system rarely finishes a job

It's not a stretch to say that the animal rights groups with membership on the WAG are using insider information to defeat efforts by the WDFW to protect the assets and families of the NE from depredation and attacks. This is disgusting and all too predictable.

If this is just a preliminary injunction it does not mean anything other than a judge wants to give plaintiffs time to argue their case.  This is why wdfw has to have a defensible process before killing wolves...they will be challenged every time they try.

Of course they'll be challenged every time. Our residents are not getting the truth about the effect the wolves are having and about their population growth. They're getting only propaganda from animal rights groups whose coffers are burgeoning from donations to "save the wolves", which as we all know, are in no danger. The more this happens, the more the WDFW has to spend on litigation when their funds are already tight. Not only do the residents of the NE get no relief, money will continue to be funneled away from conservation into wolf recovery and this litigation, a double-whammy for our other wildlife. This will continue until delisting is achieved.

Yep, WDF&Wolves have really worked hard at protecting assets etc. in the past while they sleep with CNW, DoW etc....

It sucks the way the system is set up. These wolf groups and others get money from funds I think it's called equal access for legal representation that's probably not it.Anyways it's our taxes these people can get every time they sue.
They have thier own in house lawyer so they are able to basically put money into their organizations and we are paying for it

[pianoman9701]

The Equal Access to Justice Act. It was set up originally to help individuals fighting the immense assets of the government by awarding winning parties legal fees. It's since been completely abused by these groups to pay a team of organization attorneys in lawsuits against the government. It's become a huge business for them and the more taxpayer money they're awarded, the more press they get and the more donations that pour in. It's a very corrupt system that allows this.
