Re: “Hunting Foes Want to Snare Seats on Vermont's Fish & Wildlife Board”

When you have a Board that is so mired in their own special interests, how can they possibly make sound decisions over our wildlife? I don't hunt or trap, but I don't necessarily oppose hunting for sustenance, but I don't feel as though my interests are heard on this Board. I enjoy tracking wildlife and consider myself to have a deep understanding of nature, specifically furbearers and their behavior.

The fact that these very trappers on the Board are making money off of these animals' pelts is a conflict of interest. Of course people like Kevin Lawrence and that taxidermy Board member want to expand seasons on bobcats and otters because they make money off of it! That is just wrong.

This Board needs to represent a larger cross section of Vermonters and until it does, the Department won't get one penny from me towards their non game funding.
