Predator control

To the editor:

As to the state’s new predator control proposal to apparently kill competing predators without any regard to numbers or science, well then, there should be no more need for game biologists.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

What about those nasty sea predators that compete for our precious salmon?

We could start helping the fishermen by advocating open season on orcas, belugas, eagles! Kill ’em all! We could sack the whole Alaska Department of Fish and Game!

Haven’t seen a moose in my neighborhood all winter, which is two less than last year ... I know which predator is responsible for that.

    there are lots of moose around, i had one in my back yard last night i know cause my dog was barking most of the evening. i saw three going to chena hot springs last friday.

    not to worry Barb there are still plenty of critters around. but i like the ideal of getting those salmon sharks and those critters that fish in those big boat with big nets!!!!
