I am be wrong on this but, it sounds like "we" the tax payers are putting up the bill for a bandage fix to satisfy the liberal agenda. Just my opinion.
Seriously? Thats your attitude when the state and F&W step up to help out the livestock owners? How are people suppossed to be helped with such a lack of gratitude and willingness to work together?
Gratitude that people aren't being left pissing in the wind. Gratitude that the state is taking the ranchers concerns and plight seriously and doing something proactive about it.All you are doing is standing there, arms crossed and bitching, which does no one a *censored* bit of good. This is the situation, there's no need for pissing on the efforts to make it livable for ranchers. I mean, seriously, the wolves will never, EVER... everevereverevereverevereverevereverevereverevereverever... be gone from this state again. Them being something that once was is not going to ever happen again. You are going to have to learn to live with that reality, because that's what the reality of the situation. They are here to stay, but why remain bitter instead of helping to create co-habitation? You can resort to vigilantism and poaching all you want, fine. That'll just be more of you out of the way while you rot in prison. The White family might have avoided jail time, but that won't happen again. They used up that excuse of being fed up, now that everyone can see that you can't walk away from poaching wolves, I'd be hard pressed to see a judge give any leniency to any future poachers.And useless? Those fladry lines have been proven time and time again to be very useful at keeping wolves at bay. Thats why the Russians use them for hunting wolves. But hey, a measure that works and helps make things more co-habitable doesn't fit into your bitching speech, so I get why you would purposefully ignore that.The state is stepping up and doing it's part to prove co-habitation is possible, and all you can do is act like children.
Well, you can't divide the parties like that. There are PLENTY of hunters, sportsmen and ranchers who do want wolves here. There are also liberals who don't have an opinion on the matter, so you can't say it's the liberal party who completely wants them, either. It's too mixed up to determine demographics that should or shouldn't pay for it. I must say, those who oppose aren't that big of a demographic judging from polls, voting, testimonies, ect. They just happen to be the loudest(just an observation, could be wrong).All I can see here is, people are just starting to take responsibility for the RISK'S, and there are those who couldn't seem more displeased. It's as if they are saying, "How DARE you prove us wrong on our assumptions of where your priorities are?!". At least they are making an effort to help out the opposing parties, you know? As far as the plight of the hunter's and sportsman, there's not much you can do there. They are not going to corral the ungulates at night and keep them from being hunted. All they can do is monitor the numbers and effects and acting according to the science that was required of them to master to get the job we are paying them to do. They are not going to cater to the hunters nor the tree-huggers. They have a job to do no matter who gets the shorter end of the stick.And I'm sorry, but I can't accept that they allowed wolves to return simply because 'people wanted them'. Thats rediculous. How would people wanting wolves somehow trump people wanting elk? There's more money in elk, so that theory is... moot. They took in testimonies of people's opinion's, yes. But they based their decisions according to the science, in the end. The wolf management plan does not cater to one side. I've read it a few times, and it seems quite middle of the road, imo.
Wow, humanmanure must be off his meds again
