Stevens County issues warning RE: Wolves

[Fl0und3rz]

Putting myself in a situation that requires a higher standard for self-defense than with simple "threats" by game animals such as cougar and bear.

KFHunter's idea of mewling nude in a pasture comes to mind, for starters.

I want to change the current law, not try to understand this policy that we have now which can change at WDFW and the commission's discretion. 

If we did something like Utah it would take all the decision making out of WDFW's hands, they would still be the investigatory agency, but the law would be set in stone for all to know. 

A good law reads like a guide book or SOP (standard operating procedure) and levels the playing field, a bad law leaves everything open for discussion and whimsy, which is what we have now.

   I agree

The first step is knowing what we have now.  Is that the reason for the resistance?

Sop really I hear about sop enough at work .

True.

But I've already provided the only SOP anyone who isn't interested in obtaining a google law degree needs:
1. Stop the threat (i.e., shoot and kill the wolf/wolves)
2. Contact your attorney and say nothing to anyone else...especially not a law enforcement officer.

[Fl0und3rz]

Because ignorance is bliss, right?

Good article. The DFW is spineless on the issue.

so i have researched before but cannot find rules on protection of pets, yourself if confronted by these wolves... anyone have a link to the LAWS?

Might as well be right in town, a mile or less from the schools.

I live just off haller creek.  Not the first time weve had them running around here.  Now that i think about it, it was sunday right as it was getting dark that my neighbor called me and said her dog was acting really keyed up, that she thought something had to be prowling around outside.  I figured she probably smelled a lion nearby, but now i wonder.  Maybe ill go check my cameras today.

Are the state or feds legally bound by this?
