Go to this link and send a message of support for HB 2438 if you approve of it. Many if not all self annointed "animal rights" organizations are making moves to have this bill vetoed.

Done-
If you do this the best way is to type the note in Microsoft word and USE SPELL CHECK.  Be polite and to the point.  We don't want to sound like a bunch of slack jaw rednecks...even though some of us might be

Is this pilot program just for the 5 county area in NE WA or is it going to be a statewide county pilot program.  I heard both and was wondering what the other people thought before I write what i want to write.  I was under the impression that it was for the 5 county area, but other counties throughout the state could join in if they wanted to??   I just dont see if that is the case that wildlife management should be driven by county politicians who know nothing about management.

Probably the same people that thought it was a good idea to burn down the houses in Woodinville.

If other counties can prove that they have a legit concern and have had issues with cats they can try to get into the program.  I suspect much of the documentation will be the "Cougar Incident Reports" from the WDFW- if they're not seeing enough of them from the county, it's unlikely they'll join.  I would also hope that the county biologists are invloved in the process, not just the politicans.
