What’s the rancher’s opinion?
In his diatribe against “a particular rancher” (he never names him) and Donny Martorello of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, retired Washington State University professor Dr. Robert Wielgus, insists that, “Washington’s wolf wars can easily be prevented.” He puts nearly all the blame for the killing of wolves upon this “one particular rancher.”
Never mind the fact that most people who work and live where the wolves are, it was forced upon them. And never mind the fact that to abide by the terms and dictates of the WDFW it may be so costly it would put them out of business.
In its effort to be fair and honest, surely the Spokesman-Review will be eager to now present a guest opinion by the “particular rancher” who is such a trouble maker and as well, Donny Martorello of the WDFW whom Professor Wielgus lambastes. Many of us will be waiting for it.
