The party of “science” except when the science disagrees… glad that the most successful model of managing wild animals is being tossed aside. Should get real interesting if Oregon continues down that path

 

[Broomd]

Am I the only one who gets the urge to hurl when anything is mentioned about Oregon policy, law and politics?
Damn shame, such a gorgeous state run by complete morons, and that's probably too kind.

Author is from Western Watersheds so no surprise.
Good luck with securing funding from the "non consumptive" users.
But truly a scary prospect.

I’m surprised HOWL hasn’t picked this up yet

 

[ccoffey]

Can I claim asylum in Montana or Wyoming now so when we move I don’t get looked at like we look at the Californians?

I've never heard of that website before. Does anyone in Oregon actually read articles from this site or is it just the same 100 crazy liberals anytime this guy posts something?

I completely agree. I keep contemplating leaving the state but think they can't keep messing things up even more... then they prove me wrong.

More and more Oregon, in a word, disgusts me. The writer of this article is representative of the reason why. The scenery is beautiful, but the extremist ideologues have made Oregon a tragedy, the greatest tragedy in my lifetime.
Being a 5th generation native Oregonian, I know of what I speak.

‘not an old-school “wildlife management” degree who looks to the best science to guide policy’

Certainly wouldn’t want anybody looking at science!

Pretty sure that is a newspaper website, probably based out of Salem based on the title

Nope, I throw up a little bit in my mouth each time game management is mentioned in this state.

Hopefully they hire a transgender, little person of color for the most diversity.

As soon as my wife finishes her degree we are leaving. From the homeless trashing literally everything and leaving needles everywhere to the mismanagement of public land and the indoctrination of children in the school systems. Oregon is not a good place to plan a future.

I make $120k and can’t afford anything other than a single wide on a postage stamp in a high crime area.

My ancestors that settled here would be rolling in their graves.

I almost moved to Bend in 2015. Thankfully a MT goat tag kept that from happening. I couldn't imagine living there now...

These two statements early in the piece got me:

“The North American Model of Conservation, which has guided fish and game agencies since the turn of the 20th century, is outdated and no longer an appropriate and workable framework for wildlife management…”

“The new director should be someone with a conservation background, not an old-school “wildlife management” degree who looks to the best science to guide policy.”

Ummm. What?

 

[Chad E]

All the ideas and ideologies described in that article are already firmly rooted in the washington fish and game commission. Oregon is just a little behind on the race to completely reshape wildlife management agencies and policy.

 

[crich]

That article was cringy...

"...in this age of extinction" was the part where I bounced. If this guy drinks any more of the Kool-Aid he'll turn as red as his commie soul.
