[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 312221, member: 605"] We the people own the wildlife. We the people of North Dakota employ the ND Game and Fish to manage our wildlife. These other wildlife interests you speak of....they can lobby. Provided they abide by the laws. Several laws restricts federal agencies and/or their employees from lobbying. Especially States Rights Issues. They cannot lobby during business hours while on the payroll or use communications equipment paid for by the taxpayer to influence the outcome of grassroots legislation or BALLOT MEASURES. They cannot involve or include the agency they work for. However, on their own time, federal agency employees can start or join non-governmental non-profit wildlife interest orgs. At which point who do they serve? The wildlife, the ND Sportsmen, or their agenda? In 2005 I attended a ND Chapter of the Wildlife Society meeting. I wasn't sure if I was in America that whole day. They brought in a keynote speaker who grew up in communist east Germany. He said, "the management of wildlife should not reside with the Legislature. The management of wildlife should be squarely in the hands of highly intelligent wildlife professionals." To the sportsmen of ND I say, never relinquish control of your wildlife. [/QUOTE]
