The California Fish and Game Commission ousted its president on Wednesday, six months after he faced major backlash for shooting a mountain lion during an Idaho hunting trip and posing for pictures with the slain animal.
Conservationists and California Democrats alike had called for Daniel Richards’ resignation earlier this year after the photos emerged. Mountain lion hunting is illegal in California but permitted in Idaho and other states.
Richards, a proud big-game hunter, said he broke no laws and said the campaign against him was part of a sustained effort to shut down gaming in the state.
“This originates from the enviro-terrorists being threatened by me,” Richards told the San Jose Mercury News before Wednesday’s unanimous vote to replace him.
The outrage started in February after Richards submitted a photo of himself holding up the dead cat to the hunting publication Western Outdoor News. It featured the caption, “I’m glad it’s legal in Idaho.”
He told the Mercury News he didn’t poach, didn’t import exotic animals, or do anything other than offend those who don’t like mountain lion hunting.
“There’s no chance I did anything wrong,” Richards told the newspaper. “I did everything by the book.”
California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) had been particularly vocal in trying to get Richards to step down, writing him a letter that stated, “I do appreciate that you did nothing illegal in Idaho, but it is clear that your actions do not reflect the values of the people of California.”
Animal rights groups celebrated the news of Richards’ ouster on Wednesday.
“It’s a symbolic insult to the voters, saying ‘Yeah, look at me, I’m your president of the Fish and Game Commission, and I’m going over here and I’m going to wave this dead cat in your face,’” Madeline Bernstein, president of the Los Angeles Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told KCAL-TV.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Richards had also come under ethics fire for the hunt because the Idaho ranch did not charge him its usual $6,800 hunting fee — more than the $420 yearly limit on commissioners’ gifts. Richards repaid the lodge after an ethics complaint was filed.
Richards, appointed in 2008 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said he plans to remain on the commission as a member until his term expires in January.

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 3:16pmI understand hunting for food, and even that cats can be eaten, but I’ve never understood hunting preditors (or other purely Game animals) unless they are preying on your food (i.e. self-defense of a sort).

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 3:40pmI’m inclined to agree in principle, it’s not very honorable to kill an animal for no reason whatsoever. However, population control is a perfectly valid reason for hunting apex predators. Is there a mountain lion overpopulation problem in Idaho?
Report Post »bumfuzeled
Posted on August 9, 2012 at 4:10pmTHX- hunting is the only viable option of critter control. The fees and yes taxes paid by hunters support local conservation efforts (more than all non-profits together). So lighten up on the hunters, they may be the only way we can save some of these animals.

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 4:14pmTo Westy: Cougar hunting is legal in Utah as well and yes, the permits allocated are directly proportionate to the cougar over population. The deer population also weighs in as to the number of permits issued. These hunts are allowed to prevent an overpopulation of cougars and to PREVENT the slow and painful deaths from starvation.

I’m not against hunting (even though I am Buddhist and Vegetarian), I have a number of friends who hunt (and often donate the meat to charity, etc. Good people). I would, if hungry enough, be quite happy to shoot a rabbit and cook it up. My only objection is to taking a preditor for sport rather than food (though I DO understand that we *try* to “fix” the balance between preditors and prey, almost as efficiently as any other government run system, but I digress…)

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 5:04pmI respect your opinion on intentional killing of anything. However, hunting any animal for that matter in most states is highly regulated and highly managed, but it’s a necessity. Taking or hunting animals is beneficial because it keeps herd numbers manageable and disease amongst them at a minimum, but it also provides recreation and a continuation of heritage to those of us who love to hunt.
He followed all the rules and regulations of Idaho, but it appears he may have gotten a five finger discount on the hunting fee, which he paid later.

Hunting is conservation, and if you don’t understand why, you need to educate yourself before you reveal your ignorance.

The next thing you know people will be fired everywhere when anyone complains….ie, Fire that person because we don’t like the CONCERT he/she went to, fire that person because we don’t like the fact they vacationed (add any place) someplace not in the state (area) they live in. You could go on and on. It should not matter one iota that this man likes to hunt big game where it is legal. I personally think hunting should be for food and control of population BUT I stress again, its not ANYONES business that he did hunt LEGALLY. This is more “nanny state” and its got to STOP.
