Shortly after they started shooting wolves from the Profanity Peak pack in Northeastern Washington last summer, Donny Martorello said he decided to put his family up in a hotel.

“I’m a biologist, I’m a manager, a wolf manager,” Martorello said. “I don’t carry a gun, I’m not law enforcement, and I did sign up for the job but my family did not.”

Martorello is in charge of Washington’s wolf policy. During a hearing, he told members of the Committee on State Government, Elections and Information Technology that he and colleagues received death threats, harassing phone calls and messages.

And he said it doesn’t just happen to him and his colleagues. He said some ranchers--or “livestock producers” have reported having their photos taken and their homes stalked.

“There are producers out there that I have spoken with personally that believe that they are having interactions where wolves are attacking their livestock and they are fearful of coming to the department for reasons that we just talked about,” Martorello said.

That's right it's not sportsmen who have real reasons to be upset with the wdfw, but all the crazy bunny huggers.

I'm guessing there are some pretty dumb pro-wolfers out there or they don't know WDF&Wolves.

To threaten the very people that promote and protect the wolves above all else is pretty stupid.

That being said; Every time there is a verified death threat, a year long permit should be issued to remove a wolf.

Like your line of thinking!

The idea that the lefts/antis beliefs/ideals are the only Thing that matters has run it's course. This is getting more irritating daily watching people being harassed for livelihoods and having different opinions.
