Thanks for the information Rick. I find it disturbing what we, often unknowingly, allow our government to get away with in regards to our wildlife and natural areas so that the livestock and hunting industries have no competion.
Yes, Jennifer, I am constantly amazed and saddened at the power that the lobbies for livestock producers, hunters, and firearm manufacturers have. While representing a minority of our population, they prevail on issues that affect all of us, as well as wildlife and wild lands.
This is so heartbreaking. It seems that many humans want nothing but humans on earth. Where I live, my neighbors hate and want to kill coyotes because they eat their pets. Fortunately the coyotes are protected (California), for the most part.

It is sad to see how wildlife--especially predators--are treated.
