For 16 years, there has been a lack of persecution on behalf of many California Condor's, Grizzly Bears, Wolves and other wildlife due to the "Loophole" in the McKittrick Policy that requires PROOF that a hunter has knowingly targeted an endangered animal. Recently, Echo, a collared Gray Wolf was slain mistakenly as a coyote. Unless the hunter is PROVEN to knowingly have targeted this wolf, who was collared, He will go free from persecution of killing protected wildlife. We need to close this loophole in this policy. Our endangered animals should be protected BEFORE they are no more. Take a stand with me so that the slaying of protected wildlife does not go unpunished. Change the McKittrick Policy.
