| From the "Eyes In The Woods" website. "People need to believe that reporting a wildlife crime is the right thing to do,'' states Bruce Bjork, Chief of Enforcement for WDFW. ''None of us would sit idly by while our neighbor's home was being burglarized. None of us should sit idle when we witness wildlife crimes. I've heard people say that it's none of their business. That's an unacceptable attitude in today's world of shrinking habitat and dwindling resources. The wildlife of this state belongs to all of us. We must treat it as our property, our measure". "Wildlife does not belong to the poacher, the thief." |
