Re: [RC] wolves and end of arguement here - Truman Prevatt
The Washington Times is known to be fairly "biased." Even the people
that read it will admit that. They also are known for not being too
careful with their checking out of facts, i.e., getting multiple
verification of sources.
So if a story is only reported in the Washington Times, I'd be very
skeptical of it's validity.
Unfortunately, the lynx hair "issue" was an attempt at
biologists to ensure that the lab they were running their hair samples
through had the ability to discern between lynx and bobcat hair, not an
attempt to falsely prove that lynx are actually living in the Gifford
Pinchot National Forest. It really got blown out of proportion by
anti-environmentalists, and on a side note there is some rather
significant proof of lynx and even a wolf sighting in southern
washington (I hope it's true!). If anything is being covered up, it's
this evidence, since current WDFW policy is to deport wolves back to
Idaho, ironically.
