| We have a state grazing lease (school section). Will leases be rebid much lower when extra predator losses occur without witnesses, and thus not complete compensation? This could have some negative effect on the state general fund. Contrary to some government spending, we cannot spend more than we make (on grazing). John P Nordheim, Waitsburg WA |
| As long as wolves are listed endangered or threatened,no industry should be allowed to continue on public lands where wolves are attempting to recover. The presence of commercial industry in these areas where wolves are living will only disrupt conservation efforts and is unfair to the wolf population. JULIAN RUSSELL, BRISTOW VA |
