We have a rooster who is from a game breed and I can attend the poultry auction up the road in Enumclaw and bring home all the game birds I want to buy.

Maybe I better tell Sporty, our Old English rooster, that he needs to be more quiet.

You're telling her to move somebody else's thread... that is not "newsworthy" and yet you seem irresistably drawn to it.

Why is this categorization thing so important to you?

Do you work for some city council or state regulatory agency or something? :-)

Not that kind of "game"

I mean "game" as in wild "fish and game" hunting kind of game.

Meanwhile, Hansen gave very clear orders: No search warrant, no duck...

Under certain circumstances, people can possess wildlife, but they need a permit and must meet other requirements.

So the citizen needs a permit for the duck, but the officers don't need a search warrant?

I know. :-)

I sold some goats to a woman up the road who lives near the Green River and has rat problems. I wonder if those count for wildlife or not?

LOL -- she probably should have insured the duck against theft!

The state is rightfully taking a lot of aflak for this action...

A woman, not harming anyone, minding her own business, and not being cruel to animals is hunted down by the state. Liberals and their stupid laws drive me crazy.

Liberals get the government they vote for. I would imagine this woman probably is a democrat. She has been stiffed by the very people she would have elected. Remember this is Washington. These people deserve each other.

Overzealous, or just following orders?

It took you more time to type your message than it would have for you to ignore the thread.

"She bought a book on raising ducks, explaining that she ignored the last two chapters, which were about 'butchering and recipes.'"

LOL! You'd last about 10 minutes at my house, Honey. ;)

Cute story, though.

This is Auburn and it is very very conservative. A bit father north and you would have been correct....

And we did not elect what we have in the mansion today, remember.

This is News???????

I think it is its a example of government run amok, and why two goose stepping Bast*** should be fired (along with their supervisor).
