Going forward, the governor needs to be more careful about which organizations he accepts his Commission nominations from. Washington Wildlife First sounds legitimate by its title, but if they're promoting an anti science and or anti hunting agenda, then maybe stick to accepting nominations from the Washington Sportsman's Council, Trout Unlimited, and so forth.
This cannot be emphasized enough. Organizations represented by sportsmen generally advocate for conservation and balancing the desires of sportsmen to recreate and maximize opportunities while also being mindful of sustainability and balance for the health of wildlife to ensure those opportunities can stay. Organizations such as Washington Wildlife First are extremists who advocate exclusively for preservation and eliminating sustainable usage of resources by sportsmen. Sportsmen are mindful of the needs of wildlife, but the extremists aren’t mindful of allowing sustainable usage.
The mission of WDFW is to preserve, protect and perpetuate fish, wildlife and ecosystems while providing sustainable fish and wildlife recreational and commercial opportunities. WDFW recently has catered to the wishes of extremists groups at the expense of science and recreational opportunities. Organizations favoring sportsmen more closely align with WDFW’s mission statement. WDFW is failing its mission and needs to rebalance.
