ARTICLE from the Spring 2010 Issue
What We've Been Up To
|
ü As president of C.A.S.H., Joe Miele has been busy since the
publication of the last Courier.
ü He assisted citizens from over a dozen states by supplying
information on how to address local hunting issues.
ü Contacted the Thurston County (Washington) Commissioners
about duck hunting in the County, and suggested several ways to
support the local economy by banning hunting and encouraging
wildlife watching opportunities. As a result, at least one of the
commissioners reached out to a local activist for more information
and for suggestions on how to implement such a plan.
ü Reached out to a Texas housing complex and provided
information on how to prevent deer from dining on ornamental
landscaping.
ü Participated in discussions on the C.A.S.H. Facebook page
and answered questions asked by our new "friends."
ü Worked with a local activist in Iowa to develop a plan for
reporting hunting violations to the DNR and making sure the DNR is
held accountable to following up or not following up on them.
ü Tabled at the Las Cruces Earth Day celebration.
üIn addition, he is finalizing plans to be a featured guest
on KTEP's ACT Radio with Greg Lawson and Elizabeth Walsh. |
OUR HUNTING POSTER IS CIRCULATING
Upon a supporter's request, C.A.S.H. designed a hunting poster for store
windows, dorm walls, etc. Feel free to copy and use it.
Joe Miele of C.A.S.H. responded to a letter from Victoria Monroe, Fairfax
County, VA. Ms. Monroe is a wildlife biologist who supported culling. We
thank Richard Firth for sharing her letter with us. Please see Joe's
response online.
It's an Ambush
A hunter who condemned trapping got this comment from Ann Fanizzi, a
C.A.S.H. member: “Trapping definitely is not hunting...but let’s be honest,
sitting in a tree stand for 8 hours with a rifle waiting for a deer to walk
by isn’t hunting either. It’s an ambush.”
Why Are You Still Receiving A Mailing Of The C.A.S.H. Courier?
We have found that C.A.S.H. still has many contributing members who do
not use the Internet.

| C.A.S.H. tries to be as responsive as possible to those who need
our help. We were asked to do a postcard Action Alert to our Iowa
members asking them to report hunting violations and demand
enforcement of existing laws. We did. Further we sent out the
following letter:
Mr. Richard Leopold, Director
Iowa Department of Natural Resources
502 E. 9th Street
Des Moines, IA 50319-0034
December 28, 2009
Dear Mr. Leopold:
On behalf of our members and supporters throughout Iowa, we wish
to bring your attention to what appears to be the inability of the
officials within the Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement
Bureau to enforce violations of the state’s conservation laws. We
were alerted to this situation by one of our members who has
witnessed the following:
• Hunters using motor vehicles to chase or head off animals
• Hunters shooting into private property from a public road and/or a
vehicle
• Hunters trespassing on private property
• Hunters parking side by side on roads and impeding traffic and
pedestrian movement.
Such violations threaten the safety of Iowans and should not be
tolerated or overlooked by the state conservation law enforcement
agency. As an organization that represents the interests of our
members and supporters throughout Iowa we urge you to investigate
whether or not conservation laws are being enforced consistently.
When you do, we’re confident that you will find lax enforcement and
a plethora of illegal activity taking place
Your response to this matter of great importance will be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe Miele, President
Please use your pen or computer to communicate with your game
agencies when you see a violation. Ask that they send you a copy of
the report of your complaint. |
