I am glad someone mentioned foot and mouth.  While we are at it throw in brucellosis, lepto, etc.  The Washington State Department of Agriculture gets real involved real fast with a major disease.  Call the state vet and ask him the protocol for a threat and a positive animal, with foot and mouth all critters in a area are killed.  If a 5000 cow dairy, a 40,000 head feedlot or 3,000 elk at a feeding station are in that circle they all die.  Of course it would be tough to kill all of the elk, deer, antelope, horses, range cattle, llamas, alpacas and family pet milk cows but they would give it their best shot.  Pardon the pun.  The USDA and the FDA cooperate fully with these procedures.  I assume SCI followed the rules.  Time and tests will tell the whole story.

if this relocation had his blessing?  I'll save you the time.  No, it didn't.

The "story" is that the animals were shipped before they had test results.  Time will tell if this was a major screw up or just some poor judgement.

I think its all class envy. People cant give the natives credit for anything other than bad... BRAVO for the tribe...

I don't think the tribe needs any credit for this.  What would you expect them to do, turn down the offer?  If someone wanted to put antelope on my property I surely would not turn them down.  Shame on WDFW for not being part of this, however.
The Tribe definitely should get credit, just as all of the other organizations and volunteers that helped. They didn't get antelope offered to them, they took the initiative and asked for them.

2 QUESTIONS:

1- Are there wolves in the area?

2- Do wolves eat Antelope?

I think No and No... Only because they couldn't catch em

Another intelligent remark now u know what most people on heresound like,doesn't anyone have sense of humor anymore so quick to call an indian a *censored* in a nice way. Can't give the tribe credit for anything always nit picking everything apart. P. S. I hope no one gets to hunt them if they survive not even yakamas. Can't poach them because if they did to them like they did to the goats they all have the transmitters on them somewhere so they can track them

I think MOST are commending the tribe on their actions. I for sure am. There really isn't much out in that area...so the chance of any disease (if present) to spread and cause a disaster before the test results get back is ultra slim.

I think it is really good PR for the tribe. This release hightlights the good Yakama apples.

After so much Yakima bashing about other topics Bigdog, your statement makes no sense.  :bash:

Only if you don't get the hide off of it a.s.a.p.!  Their hair lays down flat after it is dead and creates an insulator.  Pronghorns will bone sour faster than just about any other North American big game.  That is why so many folks say they taste like crap, that and the fact that they are eating sage as well.

I know they were tested.  But why test if you don't know the results?  Due to poor protocol and improper procedure I wish the state would have stopped those trucks at the state line.  I don't think the tribe has any tribal rights at the board of entry.

I don't think it makes sense to sit back and Monday morning quarterback a project based on one small news article that is based primarily on volunteer quotes. We all know that reporters never misquote and always give the full story. :chuckle:

Fair statement.  But I have yet to read any news article and I'm not wrong.I said it was going to get quiet.  :rolleyes:
