Local law enforcement can’t use dogs

[Elkaholic daWg]

Men with tampons and women who are strapped push this garbage as an "in your face" tactic against normal people.

Who else would dream this bs up?

Amazing that the Rhodes Scholars that come up with this stuff all have a "D" someplace in the title and hail from the land west of the Pacific Crest trail.

I think it is time to start using the dogs/hounds on the predators in Olympia!

Anytime there is a nuisance animals that need to be caught they’re deferred to the WCO list to hire people like me to actually be able to catch the nuisance and help the people out as 99% of the staff including the wardens have zero training or idea how to catch let’s say coyotes that are killing cats and dogs so why would they have WDFW run dogs ? I say let the professional hound handlers and trappers take care of the situation swiftly and efficiently

I tried to stay away from this thread. I really did!
I have commented about hound hunting (though I have never done it) and the stupidity of having the general public voting on something they know virtually nothing about, but it seems that the Western side of the State 'leadership', if you can call it that, is going the same direction.
Is it any wonder the State wants to split up? They could care less about any one but the small city area population that carries the votes to do what they want to do. It is soooooo sad how bad it has gotten in Washington. Living here for the vast majority of my life I will say it was not always like this!

Simone needs to drop off one of each in dudes back yard. Maybe they will kill his dog cat or even a loved one. Then see how that prick feels about the use of hounds!

I knew by the title I should not have opened this but i did it anyway and as figured my blood pressure went up. It is getting so hard to take this non sense anymore. where do these people come up with this BS!!!

   “County officers don’t have the necessary training to make these decisions,” Arnold said. “We need to leave wildlife management to the professionals at WDFW.”

Well if this is so true than why aren't they leaving law enforcement decisions up to law enforcement that have the TRAINING and not these Monday morning quarterbacks who make bad decisions

[Bucks2Ducks]

So we can trust Local law enforcement with making decisions on people, but on predators is where we draw the line?

And in most cases law enforcement consults with fish and wildlife and there usually the ones to make the phone calls to the houndsman.

I was thinking "this isn't done in a vacuum".  DFW isn't ignorant of the process. 

It should be DFW's call.  Legislature has no business in this unless DFW requests it.

My two Belgian Malinois guard dogs are emotional support animals, which are exempt from these childish rules.

I watched the committee hearing there is a link on the bill.

It’s worth it.

Like we all need to be present at the commission meetings it’s time we are present at these committee meetings too.

I'm thinking this Bill is not exactly agency request legislation, but DFW wants this. It all stems from Klickitat County responding to constituent complaints when DFW either wouldn't or was slow in responding. The cougar people in DFW don't like being cut out of the loop. This is designed to show those local yokels who's boss.

How can we stop the morons!? Wtf is the point of this?
