WDFW to take lethal action on Togo pack.

[HaydenHunter]

Just saw in the paper this morning a judge blocked action on the Togo pack because a couple of environmental groups initiated lawsuits.  It's on hold.

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.

Thank you for that I knew i was close with the name lol
And yes the way these organizations abuse it is terrible I wasn't sure how many people actually have heard about it

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.

The challenges will continue regardless of "getting the truth".  This is a political issue with substantial misinformation pushed by extremists on both sides.

I had a thought, and it may be stupid  But why doesn't the WDFW issue authorization to ranchers in these effected areas a Kill On Sight permit. Why should the tax payers fund extermination of a pack, known to prey on livestock, with helicopters and snipers etc...of a pack of wolves, and pay for all the law suites and other expenditures.
 If a rancher sees a wolf in an area where wolf kills are documented, and has met the states kill them criteria, they should be allowed to take them out on sight, no lawsuits, no state intervention, no tax payer moneys.

Because that makes to much sense.

We as hunter need to ban together and take control of our wildlife.

Where i go shooting there are no wolves, so every coyote will be delt with accordingly.
