I like to remind people of the letter, signed by 150 professional wildlife biologists and wildlife managers from Alaska and around North America, which was sent to Gov. Palin. All those years back they told her predator control was a poor method for management and urged her to end it as the voters had already said they wished to happen. Shortly thereafter a dozen former members of the Board of Game sent her a similar letter which went on to say the BOG needed to be made up of professional wildlife scientists rather than by people who profit from wildlife.
The voters voted against predator control but a small group of "wildlife users" hijacked the system a decade ago with the help and support of elected officials. And the peoples will was ignored. When it comes to our wildlife the majority does not rule and that should not be the case in a democracy.
