<p>Dear Daniel M. Ashe, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:</p><p>I strongly oppose a recent plea agreement made by the White family and a U.S. attorney that dictates the family won't fully pay for its actions.</p><p>A pack of wolves in Methow Valley, Washington called the Lookout Pack recently resurfaced after vanishing from the area over 70 years ago. The recent sightings suggested the endangered gray wolf pack was procreating and on its way to recovery. But federal workers soon found evidence that a few of these wolves had been brutally killed and their pelts mailed via FedEx.</p><p>Tom White and his wife Erin were found responsible for the killings and the mailings, but it now looks like these criminals could end up only paying a fine and shirking all jail time. This prospect not only sends the message to the Whites that their crime was much less offensive as well as that other poachers might be able to get away with similar actions.</p><p>We can't allow illegal poaching to skirt the true purpose of the law. If we allow the Whites reduced punishments we set the precedent for future illegal hunting.</p><p>Please use your power as our federal fish and wildlife agency to see that these criminals are punished appropriately.</p>
