grizzly delisting

[sask boy]

Super7, in my limited dealings with the government and wildlife there is no logic :twisted:. We are going to be having a very big problem with the Moose population in the north east portion Saskatchewan as hunters from Manitoba are exercising their rights and are now hunting the Porcupine forest which I have been hunting for 30 years. As late as this past February there were a number of cow Moose (either 6 or 8 ) shot along with their last year calves in a very small area. The Manitoba government shut down Moose hunting in most of their province because of very low populations and now they are hunting in Saskatchewan. I understand that hunting is a right, but to shoot without thinking of the future of the population is going to wipe them out.

Blessings,
Dan

...plenty of inane comments from both sides, but the all seem to miss a major point. "It's the same old story, same old song & dance, my friends", I happened to be working for the State of Idaho during the original implementation of the "Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan". We spent months in meetings hammering out an agreement that all parties would sign. The "Agreement" was put in place, the evironmentalists who had just signed off on it promptly turned around & sued the govt. for "more protections", so they could raise more funds to support their 6 figure salaries...

...it would be nice to say that concern for the grizzlies is the main driver behind their resistance to delisting, but I don't believe it. If you look @ their track record on the 'Roadless Initiative", wolves, timber sales, stream protection, spotted owls, Prebbles jumping mice, toads, etc.,etc.,etc., they just don't ever live up to their side of an agreement...

...& it isn't "saving the world" that drives them anymore, it's self-interest. As long as they can justify their actions the donations keep coming. If grizzlies are delisted their usefulness as a prop to solicite donations dwindle...
