The Dismal Swamp Hunt is a Go

November 30, 2006

Despite the last minute efforts of Animal Rights Groups the hunt will take place. In an earlier post I told you about the letter writing campaign and petetion that they engaged in to sidetrack the hunt.

John Stasko, a refuge supervisor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the department will review the letter but go forward with the hunt. He said the department followed federal law and has provided information to the groups regarding its environmental assessment studies.

Stasko also said the groups had an opportunity over the last three years to raise objections but launched a final-week attempt to stop the hunt.

Good Luck to the hunters Friday will be warm but a front will come through late in the day and the temperatures will drop Saturday should be ideal.
