Jonesie, you are absolutely correct. It is, was, and always will be, illegal to compete against your own tax dollar. But here comes the catch. Are you able to take care of the problem? Since many of the methods that Wildlife Services uses are banned to us, in many cases the answer would be "no".

This is probably not as bad a deal as some of us think. A lawsuit for misuse of a toxic product won't break the USDA but it could very well break most of us. Perhaps I'm wrong and if I am, I apologize, but it seems to me that there haven't been all that many people in our business that have been very seriously financially affected by this whole Wildlife Services problem.

As far as paying more attention in class, aren't we all guilty of that? The only thing I ever paid attention to was the 6th grade teacher. Man, she was hot!
