Today a good number of supporters and I spoke in front of the commission on behalf of Dan Richards. I would like to thank the NRA and all other sportsmen groups that showed up today and supported Richards. From about 8:30am till about noon, it was all speakers voiceing their opinon on Richards legal take of a mountain lion in Idaho, probley about 98% of the speakers were in support of Richards. May I add if you want to be apart of a great organization JOIN the NRA. I would have to say many of the supporters came from their "NRA Alert". The NRA is very powerful for standing up, for what we as conservationist belive in.
Even though I did leave the meeting after all the speakers spoke, I did not see any ani-hunters picketing out side the mission inn. There was a couple news vans outside, probley hopeing to get an interveiw with Richards afterwards.
This is a battle that is no where near over! We need to contiue the support! If you havn't sent letters to the legislature and local politicians please take the time to do so!
