Hold WFW Commission Accountable. PLEASE SIGN!
« on: January 10, 2025, 11:16:49 AM »
My apologies if this has been posted here already. Please sign this if you haven't already to reach key decision makers about our wildlife commission. I personally don't think that dismantling the commission is the right answer. We need to have accountability. Option 3 would be best for everyone in my opinion. If you don't want to sign through Howl.org you can always contact the your state representatives. Which I have done anyways. Keep fighting!

Apparently they are close to issuing a decision on the new appointments/possible changes to the commission members.

Option #3 is a terrible idea for what should be obvious reasons.

Option #1 with modifications to appointee review/acceptance is the better approach.

This is the most important issue since the "conservation" policy.

You will never shoot a camp bull by spending all your time hunting in the woods.

Option #1 is do nothing, leave it as-is.  How is that the best approach here?

I think you would get more signatures if you did not have to join Howl, just to sign for support, every organization  seems to want a signup and then  you get pummeled with the sky is falling emails.

Just my opinion.

I will look up my legislation folks and do it that way.

You don’t have to join howl to use their automated messaging. Just click the take action button on the top left of their page; find what you want to send and fill out your information and if you don’t want to recieve emails from them make sure nothing is selected in the box. It couldn’t be any easier.

Both howls signed by me.

One has to take a step back and look at it from a political and legislative lens and do it with the long-play in mind AND what the “other” side ultimately wants.

Option #1 - (status quo) This is fine if we ever get majority control of the Commission again.  In the meantime, the jackwagons that have sabotaged it over the last couple of years aren't doing themselves any favors by pissing of the hunting, angling, trapping, mining, timber, agriculture and tribal stakeholders.  Heck, even some inside of WDFW are growing increasingly weary of some of the Commissioners’ nonsense.  As a result, there is more of a grassroots interest in what WDFW and the Commission is doing than ever before.  We benefit from this newfound interest and participation!  People are finally getting off their butts and are willing to get involved and do something.  The current concept of the Commission isn't the problem, per se.  It's some of the anti-consumption pro-predator agenda-driven clowns that Inslee appointed that are the problem.  Why not simply modify the current appointment process by requiring more of a rigorous background check and ratification process to pre-weed out the problems in advance?

Option #2 - (Governor's captive and unaccountable cabinet agency) The pro-predator anti-consumption groups are merely using this as negotiation leverage point that they know is an absolutely untenable non-starter for all consumptive stakeholders, including the tribes.

Option #3 - (so-called "reform")  This is nothing more than a tricky trap of unintended consequences that was intentionally laid by the anti-hunting and non-consumptive entities that stealthily pushed to get the $300K “study” tucked into the budget at the last minute.  Remember, change or reform is only good IF IT IS FOR THE BETTER.  Unfortunately, the Democrats currently have a stranglehold in Olympia and they will absolutely have any final say-so when it comes down to the legislative verbiage of whatever the so-called "reform" might be...and guess which stakeholders those Democrat legislators are more likely to listen to when drafting any proposed legislation and/or budgets???

I'll give you one guess.  ;)  It will be convenient and easy for them if they can point to a bunch of data-mining e-mails from hunters and anglers that state they are in favor of “reform”.

Option three is a clever trap. Unfortunately, people that desperately want change in the status-quo of the Commission are walking right into it.
