Below are some comments that were made by a State employed wildlife official .For obvious reasons this official has chosen to keep his name and location anonymous and I won't elaborate any further.

The official had the following to say,

" A primary motivation for many wildlife conservation law enforcement officials is the justification and preservation of their own employment."

"Creating an unsubstantiated problem or perpetuating a myth is often the easiest way for wildlife officials to accomplish that end."

"Some operations are initiated under the guise that there is some compelling need to prevent the exploitations of a certain wildlife resource; when in fact they are conducted primarily to justify the jobs of wildlife officers."
