Funny how no one will give you permission to trap during the season but they'll pay $26K when things get out of control...

"BATH — After months of rabid animal attacks in the southern Midcoast, Bath officials voted unanimously to partner with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to set wildlife traps in the southern end of the city to help stem the spread of rabies.

The trapping process, which will cost $26,611 from the city council’s contingency fund, will take place over 10 days before the end of February."

When they pay for what the had for free you know the government might be involved.

might be a niche market for Mainers Rabies prevention "sticks"

I thought by the title of this thread that it was another thread about the impeachment thing . . . .

26k over 10 day period?

Isn't it odd, they will pay 26K to the USDA that is already being pay to do the job. Why didn't the hire local trappers. JMO

They'll quote some Stupid nonsensical reason that only makes sense to the Council

I know for a fact there has to be a few NWCOs that would gladly bid on that job. The government should be prohibite from competing with the private sector.
