So far it seems like the top brass of WDFW are a significant improvement from their predecessors.
It does seem that way. They did drag their feet a bit on culling the whole pack last month but ended up finishing the job. It boggles my mind that they think once these dogs have eaten beef they'll stop because some of their members were killed. Hasn't happened yet.
Just because it's never worked before doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying it forever.
That certainly seems to be the plan. The influence of the animal rights groups on the WAG and Commission has a lot to do with how we handle these killers and the Stand Back & See attitude of hoping historic wolf behavior will somehow change. It never will. Until they understand man is out to kill them, they'll continue to come closer and become dependent on livestock, pets, and human garbage for sustenance. A cow, sheep, or dog are far easier prey than wild ungulates.
