HOW COULD SOMEBODY LIVE WITH THEMSELF KNOWING THAT THEY ARE THE CAUSE OF ALL THE SUFFERING TO THESE POOR INNOCENT CREATURES.

A herd of Elk often visit a meadow near my home in Kelso Washington. Every one of them are crippled with hoof rot. It breaks my heart that mankind knowingly does this to earth's creatures.

The elk and deer numbers have suffered too much already from all the toxic chemicals used. We need to start looking at them as we do salmon and start looking for less evasive ways to control noxious weeds and insects

Do the test, it can't hurt. There is enough money in the Wildlife Budget and I am sure that special concerns groups would chip in. I will.

Let there be truth! Or are you afraid of the truth WDFW? Seems like your too busy lining your pockets to give a damn about wildlife or the hunters and fisher that you are paid to provide opportunities to!

With the technological advances of today science can easily figure this out. Big money doesn't want this. Just do it.

This is unacceptable and it should have had a thorough investigation done already; it shouldn't take a petition to get WSDFW to do their job protecting our wildlife. Get on the stick people... what's it doing to the meat for those of us who eat Deer and Elk?

Keep any interested parties out of it and use a neutral third party to do the study.

A lot of these animals are suffering. This problem is BAD with the Elk here in Cowlitz & Wahkiakum Counties. Sometimes affecting the entire herd!

Please stop spraying. Have you never hunted is someone in your family a hunter? God blessed us all with animals that we the people should be able to harvest. We all must respect the animals and the land. Stop Spraying.. And stop destroying what god gave to the people and the animals.

It is time to reconsider completely our use of herbicide chemicals.
