I'm a hunter and I've seen a drastic reduction of game animals in many hunting units.

The value of the human life must not be compared to an animal. This is obvious, and the refusal to take action on the account of life taken or risked is simply dilliberate denial to this ramafication.

It's the only way to actually be able to find and kill a cougar when hunting them

While we may be encroaching on their lives, we have to save ourselves and our pets from their search for food.

Because our woods are infested with them. Wildlife officials ( ODFW ) dont like to talk about it like a dirty little secret.

Yes hounds should be used again because we are talking about human lives versus animal lives. Human lives should be considered first.

making heavy reduction of game animals. The state uses dogs to hunt and control over population and nuisance cats. They hire professional hunter where hunters could get population down with use of dog

To have healthy elk and deer numbers predation needs to be controlledTags issued to hound hunters were very effective in the control of these large preadators

They are frequenting neighborhoods, and killing livestock again, there are too many. Something has to be done. First adult, next a child!?

I agree with Leslie (again). it's inhumane, except for trackig a suspected killer cat.

Hunting with hounds isn't sport hunting.

I'm not even sure the one that is suspected of killing the woman really did it. They have found no trace or scent to say one was there. Maybe murder by pitbull ?

Humans are the very reason this happens. We are encroaching on their territory.

It's wrong. Inhumane. BUT... in case you need to track a specific cat as it attacked someone, I would say it's ok.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
