Protest WDFW Wolf Plan in Olympia

[CedarPants]

Killbilly,I agree with your last statement ,you never know until they are tested.besides that I agree with the guy for the most part. No way to agree on everything with any possible commission member.

And I forgot to mention that we do need Diversity on the Commission.  We do have a much bigger fish to fry..

We need to demand that the Department DETAIL and SHARE their plan to Manage the Wolves. The details should include: Funding, Personell numbers, methods of trapping and collaring, methods of tracking, etc.

If they can't produce the above and more then they have no business claiming to have a Wolf Plan at all.

What are the numbers going to look like whhen they do come up with a half/ass plan. This is a monumental task they are facing and I'll bet they are sitting on their asses smiling smugly still.

Completely agree with this statement.  In fact, I've reached out to a couple lawyers asking if there is any legal ground we'd have to stand on with this.  In my mind, we should be able to request this informaiton and WDFW should be required to provide it.  I'm waiting to hear back

Excellent initiative, Cedar. Thanks for the perspective, Killbilly. I understand both of your points of view.

I'm not so sure I agree about the commission, but I'm open KB. Considering what Cedar has said and what we've known all along about funding and rancher compensation, the fact that the commission voted in a plan without it being fully thought out indicates to me that some of them are willing to side with the wolf extremists without logical justification to do so. I also feel that if a candidate is on the staff of an organization that believes the adopted plan is a wonderful thing, (which they state on the front page of their site as a victory), he's not going to be a voice of reason in this or other predator issues, or even be a strong supporter of hunting. The only exception to that I can see would be if he were to resign from that organization because of a difference of philosophy about the wolves.
