Feed A Wolf, Trap A Wolf, Shoot A Wolf

The rules governing the Wisconsin wolf hunt allow hunters and trappers to set out up to ten gallons of feed or bait at a site, including "liquid scent."

Some sport.

You can read the rules, here. And bear-baiting no doubt attracts wolves ready to protect the bait and lose their life doing so.

The wolf hunting rules also demonstrate how language masks the realities of the hunt.

Killing wolves is a "harvest."

And trappers "dispatch" their snagged prey.

    This picture should hang in a place of honor for all visiting dignitaries to see in the Governor's Mansion. Also it should be prominently displayed in the offices of legislators who allow this meaningless slaughter [harvest] to occur.

    Sick, horrible, dangerous to domestic pets! Flat-out murder and should not be allowed! If cruelty to animals is a felony, every one of these hunters needs to be in jail for the rest of their lives! Several pets have already been injured and killed by these traps. How long till a curious toddler is injured?

    Anyone who thinks this is acceptable should be put through the same treatment. As a civilized society we should not tolerate such barbaric acts of cruelty.

    As a civilized society this barbaric act should never be tolerated. I am embarrassed and ashamed I belong to the human race which allows such things to occur.

    Maybe those same pix should be blown up, placed on posts and paraded in front of the responsible legislators' private homes . . . .
