Trappers be aware

[Special T]

If you know about the "snitch report" during covid, the valley is full of snitches!!  Some were even long time residents, not locals but residents!!  Beware!

Like I said, the valley is no were near what it used to be!!

Perhaps locals should show some turnabout is fair play?

I've trapped since 1985. Back when we could use foothold and instant kills we watched where we put them to avoid non- targets (ie dogs) not to hide trapping activities. Heck we even put up the red triangles to indicate trapping activities.

A cage trap isn't a danger to anyone or any non-target. If it offends you, tough! I'm  offended by many things but deal with them.

People who hide are defeated and weak.  People with an agenda know it. What good has it done us? It's time to fight for our sport not wither like some Pansey in the heat.

If 2 dudes can kiss in public and you feel you can't trap in public then they are obviously tougher than you..

     


This 👍. We have a responsibility as trappers to set footholds and kill traps carefully and responsibility to minimize catching pets etc. We have NO responsibility to set cage traps to not offend bunny huggers. EVERYONE should be behind jingle and pushing for prosecution of the 2 bunny huggers. It was stated he has video of them spraying his set. It’s illegal and everyone should be pushing for charges. I can’t believe any trappers blame jingles actions here. You need to fight with him for your legal rights

I hope he is a member of Washington Trappers Association. they need a great test case to push these anti harassment laws. What is the Prosecutor like in the Methow these days like?

[Ridgeratt]

The prosecutor has had the case for over 90 days and has done nothing except say their office is 3 atty's short and will get to it when they can.

A Certified letter was sent to the Director of WDFW that in accordance with RCW 77.15.065 Authority of Attorney General if Prosecutor defaults.

If the Prosecuting attorney of the county in which the violation of this title or rule of the department occurs fails to file an information against the alleged violator, the attorney general upon request of the commission may file an information in the superior court of the county and prosecute in place of the prosecuting attorney.  The commission may request prosecution by the attorney general if thirty days had passed since the commission informed the  county prosecuting attorney of the alleged violation.

When the WDFW Enforcement agent gave the case files, with videos of the women spraying his traps,  to the prosecuting attorneys office that is the same as the commission informing them of the alleged violation and that happened mid March

Well they had their day in court ….. the :censored: got a $275 fine and a one year probation BS for blatant disregard for the law . Even with the videos that the prosecutor had but never used this is what they got . I’m pissed at the law in this country we as trappers have to follow the law and use cages with I.D. Tags on and Check traps within 24 hrs of capture and EVERYTHING else but they get away with everything they want

Figures.. Most poachers are let off easy also.

Now that there's a conviction, perhaps it's time to go to a civil suit?

Unfortunately you have better odds winning CRAPS than you do rolling the dice on what judge you'd get

[boneaddict]

I have all sorts of vengeful suggestions on how to get back at them, but surely non of them are legal, so I guess I better put my Admin angel hat on and keep my mouth shut.  THis sure does piss me off though.

*censored* prosecutor and judge slapping the wrist of a *censored* colleague.


You censored a variation of liberal, really ?
