Spring black bear Management hunt petition?
« on: January 20, 2023, 03:34:03 PM »
Have I just been in a fog lately and missed there was a petition for spring black bear management hunt being discussed at the Wildlife Commission meeting today 20 Jan 23? I dont rember seeing anything on here about it but I could have just totally missed it. Here is a link to the petition https://wdfw.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-01/20230128-petition-december-19th-2022-redacted.pdf. Did anyone listen in to the meeting and how did it go? I am guessing it got shut down by the incompetent Commission.

Just got the email.  Must have missed the petition.

There is still chance to provide public comment on this petition under the agenda item: Open Public Input. It is necessary for commenta to go under the OPI agenda item because there is no formal comment period for the petition item.

Comments can be emailed to commission@dfw.wa.gov with subject line something like, "January 27th Meeting: Open Public Input."

Public comment must be received by 8 am on the Thursday before the start of the Commission meeting (January 26th).

To clarify, this is not the type of petition where many people sign it before submission. Rather, it is simply a formal request.

If you cannot speak, you can always send emails to the commission regarding the spring bear petition that will be discussed this week.

Well written petition with very valid, wide ranging points.  I'd emailed last week and am signed up to speak so hopefully will have a slot.

Some great comments so far at the meeting. Apparently Doug Boze put in a PDR  that caught commissioner Rowland talking with some one from WOlf Haven international during a meeting.  I guess some people arnt as bright as they think they are.

WDFW staff recommend denying the petition, so I don't see it having a chance today.

True but turning up the heat to a couple of these corrupt commissioners is completely appropriate.

Definitely.  They need to keep getting hammered.

Funny how the lawyer was completely silent when Don McIssac brought up procedure and liability but now seems to being it up to "Clarify" the spring bear petition.

Well that was disappointing, 3 in favor and 5 against. There is some real tension between WDFW and the commission. The commission just made a bunch of work for themselves and will have to give WDFW more direction.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I will try to be brief.

The issue of spring bear hunt is complicated, the procedural/legal aspects of this process are complicated, and communicating about these complicated topics is... complicated. I do not claim 100% comprehension of these things, but I do know this:

From commissioner Baker (no vote) herself on the topic of spring bear hunt, "This issue is certainly not over."
