Personally, I don't want biased non-expert people on my state commissions. I'm tired of "the few" ruining it for the rest of us. Conservation is legitimate and a value held by many many people who never hunt. Hunting isn't bad but it shouldn't be the main focus of our management practices.

$20,000 reward for help catching the person or persons killing #endangered #grey wolves in #Washington State. Three are now dead. These animals need protection. The killings threaten the survival of this species. And it's a great way to pay off those student loans President Joe Biden couldn’t cancel.

#biden and #pattymurray have gotten letters from lots of us about protecting #Wolves in #washington. But I'm seeing news that indicates both Washington state #WDFW and the US Fish and Game are talking about blowing off the Wolves again to get some rancher votes. Maybe they were too busy catching up on #GoldenGirls, IDK.

We have less than 250 wolves in the state.

We protect dolphins and don't give a shit about the other animals also dying so we can eat cheap food.
