Kudos to you Pat Doris for covering the issues that we are really interested in. You really stepped out on a limb with the "Gov" the other day, now you are keeping us up on Snowball. Thank you for your work on the actual information we want to know that may seem insignificant to others. We are keeping our fingers crossed for Snowball to go home to her family, and the ODFW to be "slapped down" to where they should be. WE are the government in Oregon, not the bureacrats in spite of what they might think. Please do an ongoing investigation on the corruption in Oregon Government and they long history of corruption. Thank you!

Regarding Snowball and Bucky case, I am hoping that Snowball will go back to owner. But I have heard a rumor that before they released Bucky that the state neutered and cut off his horns, is it possible for you to confirm this or not?

THANKS PAT FOR KEEPING US UP ON THE NEWS OF SNOWBALL. WE ARE ALL BEHIND SNOWBALLS OWNERS IN MOLALLA,TO RETURN HER HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS. AND ALSO WHERE BUCKY BELONGED. HE WAS NEVER IN THE WILD TO BE RETURNED TO THE WILD. DO ODFW REALLY CARE ABOUT THE ANIMALS WELL BEING???? OR THAT PIECE OF PAPER? VERY INHUMANE. GOOD LUCK AND OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH SNOWBALLS MOM & DAD.

JUDY IN EAGLECREEK

Snowball should be allowed to go home to her adopted family, with court mandated periodic veterinary checks to oversee her health.

There seems to be no end to anal-retentive, self-righteous, bureaucrats that are unable to distinguish the fine line between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. How do these morons get the jobs they hold? Appointment? Political infighting? We the people should find a way to do something to eradicate such incompetence from our public servants.

The following was writen by my Boyfriend who is serving in Iraq..

i just want to take a moment to comment how relieved i am that snowball the deer was returned to its family. In between kicking iraqi children, and opressing the clearly innocent iraq local citizens, most of us have been following the Snowball the deer story and battle very closely. When we heard that Snowball the deer was captured by the evil government empire who is hell bent on causing war and raising taxes (and rumors of cutting health care!! *eeekkk*), we all over here in Iraq were very worried. After all, Princess Snowball knew the location of the seceret rebel alliance base. However, once the rebels obtained the plans of the local Clackmas Death Star where Snowball was being imprisioned (cell block D ?royal prisoners ward?), an all out attack could be launched to rescue Princess Snowball before the evil government empire could do unspeakable horror to the Princess. That horror being something so evil its hard to say or type it. But being a brave soldier i am, i will say it. The empire was actually going to release Snowball into the wild!! (Lord forgive me for saying that.) And we all know wild animals do not belong in the wild, they need to be under our care and protection. So with the Clackmas Death Star plans in hand, and led by Judge Eve Miller with the newest x-wing fighters, the empire had not a chance in hippi hell of keeping the beloved Snowball.

Thanks for listening!!!!
