Griz Kill Exposes Anti-Rural Bigotry?
Rural solidarity is clearly up against anti-rural bigotry in the continuing debate over federal prosecution of a north Idaho man who fatally shot one of three grizzly bears that wandered onto his property and allegedly
posed an immediate threat to his children. The case remains a hot topic among Northwest hunters and gun rights activists at the
Hunting-Washington
,
Northwest Firearms
,
WaGuns
and
HuntFishNW
forums. Over the weekend, the debate got nasty in the wake of the release of a letter written by Boundary County Prosecutor Jack Douglas in support of Jeremy Hill, who killed a male grizzly back in May, immediately reported it to state wildlife agents, and now finds himself charged with a federal crime. Portions of the letter were quoted by the
Spokane Spokesman-Review

Question: Do you agree/disagree with columnist Workman that the killing of a grizzly by Jeremy Hill of Bonners Ferry has attracted anti-rural bigotry?
