Game Board should listen to 500 residents, not 3 trappers PDF Print E-mail

It's simple math.

More than 500 residents of the Denali Park area have signed a petition requesting the Board of Game expand the buffer zone around the park. The superintendent of the park, a resident of the area and an Alaskan, has also made this request.

Three recreational trappers are the only ones who might be negatively affected.

Those numbers again: 500-plus Alaskans versus three Alaskans.

The BOG has voted to eliminate the buffer zones entirely.

Five hundred Alaskans will be ignored; three will be catered to because the BOG system is so dysfunctional it can't even do simple math.
