What To Do About That Pesky Elk Herd

The online poll in today’s PDN is: Should the Sequim elk herd be thinned (culled) or moved?

As of this writing, 26.6% said “thinned,” 8.6% said “moved,” 6.3% said “both” and 55% said “neither.” Presumably most of the people who want the herd “thinned” are California refugees who thought they wanted to get away from suburbia, but later realized they wanted to bring the suburbs with them.

So far this year, eleven elk have been “harvested.” If you went into a gun shop and asked where the harvesting rifles are, I guess they'd know what you were talking about.

The elk problem will probably rear its head in Brinnon too, since that luxury resort near Brinnon was approved yesterday. There's an elk herd in that area, which probably won't fare well when the new improved Brinnon gets stricken with an epidemic of Affluenza.

"Affluenza" is right. God, I hate people who don't understand that the elk (and all of nature) was here first. Just because you want to subdivide the great outdoors doesn't mean you banish everything else.

I am suprised the indians haven't claimed the elk all to be theirs. They claim everything else so why not?

These people who are hunting, oh, I mean harvesting the elk, why don't they just get marriage counseling instead. Or join a dating service, or whatever it takes. We know what they're lacking in their lives, and they have to make up for it by killing animals. Get a life instead.

I understand that Walt Schubert is going to host the Sequim Elk herd in his backyard. Or maybe someone else's backyard.

There was a letter in the paper today about the Bush-Clinton impeachment. This guy says "get over it" and then he says Clinton was impeached because he was more guilty than Bush. Oh my God, Clinton had an affair and then lied about it (who wouldn't). All Bush did was lie to Congress so he could start an illegal war, and use our Constitution for toilet paper. No biggie.

Sorry I know this is off topic but I just had to vent.

Yeah it would be nice if Air Farce 1 would stop in The Hague on the way back from the middle east. They could all smoke some good weed and drop that sleaze bucket off at the court for a good old fashioned war crimes trial.
