WI bear hunters continue to throw dogs to the wolves

Notice how many of this year's bear hound killings or woundings by wolves in Wisconsin have taken place close to previous depredation sites and areas of known wolf activity.

Why bear hunters put their dogs at such risk is beyond me, though Wisconsin law, through a DNR program, compensates the hounders - - even scofflaws and repeat applicants - - up to $2,500 per wolf-killed dog during the bear season through an only-in-Wisconsin program.

(...'cuz maybe they are also attracting wolves that are illegally "harvested?").

The WI League of Conservation Voters (as reported by you in your very busy month of reporting on Wisconsin's political environment) will now have GB, MKE and MADISON offices and this may be our last resort in Wisconsin for recovering our humanity -- in balance with Nature.

So, I am another Wisconsinite who refuses to just "let it go" (i.e., Wisconsin; i.e., to the jerks) and who thanks for your unceasing dedication to the truth.

Why is the cat so interested in the cage, when all that's in it is a bird?
