Poison

[Goose87]

I tell you what Mr. Larry I'll invite you to our next one and you can see for yourself since your so skeptical about everything, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries commission, the commission who regulates our hunting as well as the LDWF both unanimously agreed that the toxicant based with warfarin would not be used in our state and if it were ever to be used there would be stringent research done on it, now the sodium nitrate toxicant is a different story and we will more than likely see that in the future...

This is a legitimate sincere open invitation to attend the Task force's next meeting just so you can see and hear with your own eyes and ears how much Hunter based solutions are discussed. It's real easy to constantly complain about something and to be negative  on a private forum, come on out and voice your concerns to someone in person, and in case you want to know what the Task Force is doing for hog hunters just look at our neighboring states, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee, go look up what their regulations are concerning hog hunting in general and then you will see how this task force is going to benefit us in the long run....

hey I just asked what does the task force do for us  hog hunters ?  the facebook page for the task force  perty much  every article  is  for doing away with hogs in the wild ......if the hogs where killed out of the wma's would the  task force  be for  putting some back ?  this is a discussion board and  if you gonna premote this  stuff I just don't see where this task force  is  for  hog dog hunter's .......now more  days to hunt wma's  yes ......  but as soon as they come up with a poison they'll shut the wma hunts  down  and  you know it .......  ya'll would hate  for me  to be at a meeting .... I don't talk out both sides  my mouth ....... truth is there is more people like the hogs than don't even though they may complain about em .... been around it all my life ...... seems like you may be the public acceptance part of the force ..... I have  nothing against  your lhha as  I can see ...

Press Release
Texas Hog Hunters Association
March 2, 2017


This afternoon, State District Judge Jan Soifer issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture from implementing the “emergency rule” that they had issued to try to facilitate the use of rat poison across Texas lands for feral hogs. Specifically, Judge Soifer’s Order stated in part that Defendants Sid Miller and the Department “did not follow the requirements of the Texas Administrative Procedure Act . . . and so therefore the rule is invalid.”

The Plaintiff in the case was Wild Boar Meats, L.L.C, a feral-hog processing business headquartered in Hubbard, Texas. The Texas Hog Hunters Association (THHA) and the Environmental Defense Fund also intervened in the case on the side of Wild Boar Meats.

Eydin Hanson, Vice President of THHA, said “15,000 members and supporters of THHA have signed a petition against this ill-advised rule. Spreading rat poison across Texas lands would hurt Texas hunters, Texas hunting-supply businesses, Texas feral-hog meat processing businesses, Texas ranchers, and the Texas environment. We are very grateful that Judge Soifer ruled in our favor. We hope that Commissioner Miller will now follow the law and allow public comment and careful consideration before proposing use of any poison on feral hogs. The emergency rule would have damaged feral-hog control in Texas rather than helping it. We urge all Texans to contact their elected representatives to make sure that Texas lands are not poisoned in this manner.”
