Not signing this new law would have turned the management of wolves in Oregon into a political game.” Too late.

This has been a political game for decades. The cottage industry of attorneys on behalf of the environmentalists supported by the donations of those who support the return of prey animals to Oregon and elsewhere against the cottage industry of attorneys supported by the fees of cattle and sheep interests opposing them requires political activity when the Courts don’t do what either side wants.

“Science” is a tool which may or may not support either side on a given day.

In the meantime, the attorneys make money, the environmentalists feel good about donating and the cattle and sheep guys get to whine about all of the above while having coffee each morning at their local cafes before they go count the dead sheep and calves. It’s all good!
