Sounds like Jerry Brown needs to be flooded with e-mails in support of Richards, or one with similar beliefs and goals, for the direction of the Ca. Fish & Game.
Those commissioners were appointed, if i'm not mistaken, because of their overall varied interest, be it pro or con, towards the varied programs in general. I believe i even remember where a HSUSA member was appointed not too long ago. At the time, most could see that placement as unbelievable and seeds for the destruction of our outdoor heritage but our pleas went to def ears.
With enough support, this might be a cause that we can win and put off what seems to be the inevitable eventual end of "hunting" as we know it.

Sage, I think you are spot on. I believe that HSUS bought a st with a huge donation.
264, you're right. We need to prompt the other organizations to join in the fight. Not being popular with the others isn't a big deal IMO. I've read the Commission is split 3 hunters versus 2 non-hunters.

Sage and mag,
Agree wholeheartedly with you both. A united concerted effort to flood the governor's office NOW would go a long way in sending a message for future crap like this. Calif must have over a hundred K hunters and that voice could sure make some noise! Since the commissioners are meeting in May, there isn't much time left. I sure hope the hunting and fishing orgs can get a handle on this!

""Californians have twice voted in a resounding fashion to protect mountain lions in our state, and his flagrant flaunting of his disagreement with the electorate put him out of sync with California," said Jennifer Fearing, state director of the Humane Society of the United States. "We're glad to see the commission take action.""
HSUS got their inch, now they are dictating to and how our fish and game should be run. BS!!

Nothing surprises me in this state anymore.....this is just wrong. Richard's did nothing wrong except offend the PC liberal wacko's that seem to be in charge of state. If we had a ballot messure to divide the state into two states I would vote yes. Make the bay area down the coast including LA one state and the rest of us in the real state. Then they can live in liberal utopia. That's what I'm thinkin.
