What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Shooting helpless animals that are unable to get away is a traditional activity popularized by Dick Cheney.
But it's not hunting.
Trap it. Leave it overnight in agony and then shoot it. Look at that Wolve's left paw. See how mangled it is?
Yes, this is how wolves are captured, whether to be tagged and collared for research or killed to effectively manage their numbers and to obtain valuable fur pelts. Are you madison liberals too dense to understand this?
Zombie,
How old are you 12? Hunting was popular long before Cheney. In fact, hunting has been popular in the United States prior to us even becoming a country.
It is hard to believe that people like you are that uninformed.
@RD.
My point is that shooting a trapped animal isn't hunting.
Try to insult me all you want, Even a 12 year old can understand that.
Of course, I was referring to Cheney's preferred hunting method, the canned hunt.
You can't eat a wolf. The hide is pretty worthless. Wolves are hunted for trophy and if they are killing livestock. The only way to actually get one is to bait it and trap it because they are very shy. You are not thinning a herd of the weak ones when you hunt this way. They don't decimate the deer population - they don't eat that much. The ones they do eat are the weak and sick ones. The ones that will starve if the wolves don't get them. The ones that aren't all that attractive to human hunters. There is nothing noble in this wolf hunt.
The wolf kill has now hit 50; only 66 to go to the first successful wolf harvest in Wisconsin. Congratulations to all those dedicated conservationists who realize that proper management is the key to a sustainable and acceptable wolf population.
