Protect The Wolves™ finds it difficult to see whom and which stakeholders were present for their so-called Stakeholder engagement meeting.
It seems that in order to provide the mandated Transparency that WDFW needs to follow proper protocol for one thing, As well as Invite Concerned Native American Stakeholder Groups such as Protect The Wolves™. WDFWs Susewind and Martorello do not seem to worry much about discriminating against Us as a Native American Founded Organization considering their is not one Native American Founded Organization on the Wolf Advisory Group. Not to mention We know for a fact that Our Organization was nominated multiple times last September-November.
How is it that they can even begin to consider they have performed their Jobs in the best interest of the Public as a whole…. while continually pandering to Ranchers and special interest groups?
