Wildlife as Stakeholders? The Latest Debate before the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission |
|
The sportsmen’s community in Washington State has supported WDFW’s conservation efforts since its inception. Unfortunately, with recent Commission appointments, the hunting and angling community has seen our input discounted. In fact, several on the Commission have frequently proposed naming wildlife (or “non-human life”) as stakeholders of the Commission. It is important that Washington’s sportsmen and women continue to share our voices in a respectful manner to ensure that our traditions and values are represented through Commission decisions and policies. | | |
