| 2318 | john | burtch | we need more mnr officers in the field to protect out fishing and wildlife, and also where does all the money go from the fee,s we pay to fish and hunt thought it was to go into conservation |
| 2319 | Anonymous | Anonymous | It's time the MNR devoted a few paltry dollars to inform the public that there are authorized wildlife rehabilitators out there who can and do provide assistance for orphaned, injured and sick wildlife. Instead they hide this information and don't make it known. This has to change. |
