It is a Crime what Wisconsin’s Scott Walker DNR manager is being allowed to get away with. This needs to be stopped from the simple standpoint of should be illegal .
Over $700,000/year is spent reimbursing owners who deliberately run 12,000 unregulated hounds year-round on public lands to practice this needless violence.
Dear Editor: Here we go again — a few local politicians see opportunity in declaring war on a few hundred wolves in Wisconsin.
But why propose a wolf-killing law so draconian that it permanently denies citizens the right to challenge delisting of wolves in court?
Why legalize year-around dog fighting by being the only state in the country to allow the use of hounds for hunting wolves?
Why even pass a law declaring a war on wolves when current federal and state laws are not enforced anyway?
Why has Scott Walker’s DNR Wolf Advisory Committee kept outside scientists, wolf advocates and individual tribes from participating?
Wolves prefer to avoid humans. Only 21 farms (out of 70,000) had reimbursed livestock losses in a last annual report. Why? Because livestock are seldom their prey!
