What is it With Ranchers? They think they can just walk in and make the government decide in their Favor, Just Like the crooked politicians that get their money from them!!
OLYMPIA — Ranchers, county commissioners and rural lawmakers told a House committee Thursday that wolves are jeopardizing more than livestock.
“It’s really wreaking havoc with our economy,” Stevens County Commissioner Wes McCart told the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. “Our citizens are ready to leave, and they’re ready to lynch me.”
McCart said he can’t do anything for angry constituents. State wildlife managers will be in control at least until wolves are numerous enough and widely distributed enough to be taken off the state’s endangered species life. State officials estimate that will be 2021 at the earliest.
To speed things up, Republican lawmakers Joel Kretz and Shelly Short have introduced bills to relocate some wolves closer to Western Washington or take wolves off the endangered species list in Eastern Washington.
