Valandra said the crews were, "Unaware these sort of traps were outlawed."
:bash: :bash: :bash:
And not a damn thing is gonna happen to any of them. If it was one of us, we would make the cover story on the 5 o'clock news.

The state removed the traps Tuesday morning after State Representative Joel Kretz, R-Okanagan County, alerted Fish and Wildlife officials.
"To me, it's a real good example of the arrogance in Olympia," said Rep. Kretz, "The citizens are not able to operate like this."
A Fish and Wildlife spokesperson said the General Administration Department received a warning about the traps. Warnings are traditionally issued to first-time offenders.
The grounds crews are looking at alternative pest control measures, said Valandra.
Damn, I wish I would have noticed them and reported them.
I agree w/ Joel Kretz, it is an example of the arrogance in Olympia. I find it hard to believe they didn't know the law.......but maybe they didn't.... :dunno:
WDFW should have fought the stupid initiative harder at the time.........that initiative and the bear baiting were so f'd up I still can hardly believe it. :bash:
