Wildlife Operator's Assistance Fund


Kirk La Pierre Discusses The Wildlife Operator's Assistance Fund
by Robb Russell, The Wildlife Pro Network



Shortly after Hurricane Katrina an informal group of people within the industry got together an formed a financial assistance group for those affected by the storm. One of those who first benefited from this program then was Charles Parker, Parkerwildlifecontrol.com , who services the New Orleans, Louisiana area.

Another NWCO (nuisance wildlife operator) who was called up and deployed to IRAQ and his family needed heat for their home! WOAF was able to put that soldiers mind at ease and help a NWCO's family ride it through what would of been a cold winter. The spirit of NWCO's helping NWCO's was a great thing and what is needed now is actually to take this informal group and get it formalized and recognized as part of a component of the industry.

Recently the hunting accident experienced by Nick Pallo on Dec 17, 2009 quickly made many of realize an actual fund to help fellow NWCO's was needed and the need to actually form a 503(c) Corporation formed.

Kirk in the interview stated that although their is a call to form and possibly even rename the group to another name like WOLF (Wildlife Operator Life Fund) is OK but the most important thing to remember the nuisance wildlife control industry will always have a need to have a active fund supported.

Kirk said we already have the patches, signs and stuff for fund raising booths and what is needed now for folks to join us and get the committee off the ground. We need leaders who support the industry and step in and help us form our corporation.
