The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife wanted to study frogs on the property belonging to a private homeowner. The homeowner was willing to oblige but first the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife would have to get a taste of their own bureaucratic penalties that they place on the public.
Brilliant!
ReplyDeletenice article.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Larry and Amanda Anderson. I ran into something akin to this years ago in the People's Republic of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
ReplyDeleteI never heard from them again. How about you?

I love it now that's the way to say NO! It would be golden to see the expression on their faces after reading this, in fact it would be priceless. They use the endangered species act to violate thousands of land owners every year so I hope they chock on their own medicine. I would ask them, "So how you like me now?" lol
ReplyDeleteI love this. Absolutely priceless.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought, too: priceless!!!
DeleteOnly thing I would have had different would have been 100% organic HEMP netting. But, yeah, their response was totally awesome!!!
Brilliant!

Is that why our taxes keep going up?
ReplyDeleteYou should have only accepted payments in Gold.

DeleteI fail to see why the basically pro-forma request deserved such a elaborate negative response, since it neither asked for money nor made any threats. The Andersons wrote a very clever reply, but IMHO it was not really appropriate to this quite simple request.
ReplyDeleteOH Yes it was needed. It is better to give the rules before saying OK But now you have these rules to follow. the people had the right to answer anyway they thought was go. Like it was said by other comments. The gov. just assumes they can do what ever they want and the land owner is to comp;y with out any thought process to protect their land. So Be It.

ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely ridiculous country America has become in such a short time. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention diversity is perversity?
Perfect!
ReplyDeleteClever and humorous. Not sure that was totally necessary, but pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Should send this to Washington State Dept. of Fish and Game. Too many fingers in the General funds where our fees end up.
ReplyDeleteFrogs really!! So let's say they find one frog, then what. The Anderson's loose the access to their property or all of it because now it is a protected "Historical Site". Hope you post their response.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear why this type of frog is so "important."
ReplyDeleteA taste of their own medicine.
ReplyDeleteBeauty! To Hell with ecology. Who needs fricken frogs? [/s]
