For bear hounds in 'training,' owners & wolves create extra-bloody weekend
I've been pointing this out all year, as I have done in the past:
Wisconsin bear hunters are allowed to 'train' their dogs by running them through known wolf activity areas, and the result is five more dead dogs on top of another 13 over the last few months.
The state encourages this bear hunt training practice by paying hounders up to $2,500 for any dog depredated by wolves. Here's the latest from the WI DNR:

So where are the PETA protesters regarding this animal abuse for profit?
Six hounds were killed between August 6th and August 13th in Bayfield County. That seems pretty suspicious to me. Is this some kind of bloody racket to make a quick buck and who are the assholes doing this? Why aren't the names of the owners published? If anyone else abuses a dog or deliberately kills it, they are arrested, charged and their name is published in the local newspapers.
@Tess - - Good point. And there is more.

I wonder what would happen if someone requested that information....I would think it should be public information since, we the taxpayers, are paying for this slaughter.
