To all trappers and fur harvesters'
I have discussed at length with our attorney Gary Leistico the court order issued yesterday March 31 st , 2008. We are obviously disappointed in and disagree with the judge’s decision. However this order, as much as we disagree with it, is limited. It will be limited to a small geographic area of the state, and even in that area, trapping will continue. The judge is allowing the DNR to propose what restrictions will apply, and we will be able to take part in the process. But don’t misunderstand; we are not satisfied with this resolution. There is a lot of fight left ahead. We didn’t pick this fight, but we will see it to the end. And this is not the end. Far from it. Here is what we are doing now. We need to give the attorneys time to go through each and every line of the order. It takes time to decide the next move. Good legal decisions take time to develop. Next, we will do everything we can to limit the restrictions on trapping based on the judge’s order. We are going to assure that the judge is presented the facts that trapping and snaring can and does take place without lynx being trapped. Then we are going to look at continuing the fight to the next level. I wish I could discuss everything I have discussed with our attorney, but I’m sure you can understand why I can’t. I can tell you this. We are not giving up.
