Give Kretz a thumbs up!!!

Members of the WAG, WDFW and DoW were sleeping together in the 1980's with their first wolf/grizzly bear push.

There is always a Go-fund me approach:

There is this one going on now.

I disagree, JL. Legislators make an annual salary. This doesn't cost any more than the rest of legislation that is considered, and a lot of the rest of that legislation is more bizarre than this. Kretz makes some very good points. If the people in Puget Sound feel so strongly that we need wolves, they should reap what they sow.

Post by: WSU on January 30, 2019, 12:49:54 PM: I like, although I think they should amend it in committee to allow for lethal removal after wolves eat two children or one child and two cats or two dogs. They need to give WDFW so room to manage.

So these cost no money to do?

Post by: KopperBuck on January 30, 2019, 02:25:23 PM: Is it a waste of time? If Joe Neighbor who knows nothing about wolves but read Appleton's sheet, he might think that's a good idea since there's no oppositi.... oh nevermind, these people want to put them in my backyard too. I don't like the shenanigans necessarily, but is the game being played any other way right now? I just sat through a teleconference with the Oregon Farm Bureau - I loathe lobbyists, but you ain't getting it done without them or some of their tactics.

Some twit from Bainbridge Island wants to make them live with wolves, ......... Let her have wolves in her back yard.

Post by: Special T on January 30, 2019, 10:02:27 PM: The absurdity of the bill attempts to make the point that many in the greater Seattle area fail to understand because they arnt living with the consequences... one or 2 bill like this that dont even make it past the committee arnt as dangerous or wasteful as much of the other things actually passing in Olympia. 2c
