I just got off of the phone with Mark Pigeon (HHC & WWC) He advised me that they are onboard and will attend on Tuesday. He also stated that Jack Fields (Cattlemens Association) and Chip Emmons (SCI Wa./Ore.) are on top of this issue also.

He also stated that there is another piece of legislation in work sponsored by Rep. Mark Hargrove that addresses ESA but possibly on a larger scale in that it addresses Grizzly Bear also. I have been unable to find the Bill so far. If anyone knows of it, please bring it to our attention. Something tells me that the subject has been posted on Hunt-Wa already, but can't find anything.

OMG, if this works for us we'll have to support the ESA!

My stepdaughter , who loves the wolves, thinks this is good legislation that makes sense.

[canyelk48]

DONE!!  However, I added this sentence to the first paragraph:

Currently, wolves are not listed as an endangered species in Washington State under the federal endangered species act and in fact, have been delisted by congressional action.

They have only been delisted in the eastern third of the state. But, the USFWS has no plan for the introduction of them to the rest of the state.

[canyelk48]

Agreed.  My intentions were to point out to our Reps that they are not listed as an endangered species in this State per congressional action; thus reinforcing the email that WDFW should not be allowed to take it upon themselves to list them as endangered. 

Anything that can "spell it out" to our politicians might help, lol.

You should make it a requirement to send the e-mails before your hunt-wa account is re-activated.
