Wolf Packs in Washington

[adictd2hunting]

I just read this from google search. 

I thought it was interesting.

I also heard rumor of a farmer killing a wolf in washington with a radio collar on.  I guess the wolf was eating his livestock and now he might go to jail for it.  If you know if this is true and know where I can read the story that would be great.

If that is true, then he broke the current law.

[adictd2hunting]

I know that I just wanted to see if i could find the story on it.

[humanure]

So would I, actually. If farmers want the permits to protect their property, jumping the gun won't get them the permits any faster.

[bearpaw]

I see nothing wrong with anyone protecting their personnal property from someone or something trying to steal it. 

[humanure]

But if people disagree with the law, how do you expect to change it if you willfully break it? How are the lawmakers suppossed to take you seriously if the party commits acts of vigilanteism?

[bearpaw]

I said nothing about breaking the law.

Change the law and then kill them all, they have no useful purpose in Washington.

[humanure]

I hate to think in these terms, but if it helps, they do help the local tourist economy. 

And a farmer shooting a protected animal without proper permits is breaking the law no matter how you look at it.

But hey, the cold hard truth is that they will forever be here now. Everyone has to learn to work together to co-exist and move onward.

Why is it whenever I have to deal with the public, even in person while at the public meeting or giving tours at sanctuaries, I can always keep my cool while others freak out and lose their minds at me(i've gotten a few funny messages on here today). You can say what you want without screaming like a psychopath at me(not directed at any one person).

Where is the data to support your claim that wolves bring tourism dollars. This claim is false and you know it. It is like the claim that wildlife watching is a billion dollar business. It is not so.

Looks like you outed yourself by admitting to working on a sanctuary. You work for wolf haven, I bet.

[Tbar]

So humanure what is your agenda on hunt WA? Educate us?  Do you run a sanctuary? Work at one?   Where? Mt Rainier? I'm not screaming just curious.   

[humanure]

A good friend of mine manned general stores and tourist shops last year in Montana and said wolf merch sells at an astronomical rate.

I wouldn't be as stupid to say what establishments I volunteer for(I don't like to be paid for this kind of thing), but they are many and they vary alot. I also volunteer at a sheep farm and have skinning, gutting and quartering down to a *censored* science. I also brain-tan hides and help with side jobs sheering sheep and trimming feet. Then I also am an advocate for German Shepherds, so I foster for the Shepherd rescue for ones waiting to be adopted. I like to volunteer and do things that I feel good about.

I've stated my purpose here. Show a different side of the arguement and hopefully discourage fellow hunters from commiting law-breaking acts that portray hunters as blood thirsty psychopaths.

Anyone has the right to protect their property and livestock from Wolf, Coyote It does'nt matter, Without a Damn permit.

 

[humanure]

Not in the eyes of the law, it doesn't.
