The idea that they can only thrive where there are no people is a myth. All they really need is a food source, and Madison seems to have an abundance of liberals, who although may not be tasty, do offer protein.

You..."Support the damage they do . . ."?<br /><br />Your grammar really sucks, right along with your thought process. <br />A "unnecessary" wolf population is only an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

So $2466.00 for dear old Bowser seems quite excessive. If you don't want Bowser to become rawhide for wolves, keep him in at night, next to the fire.<br /><br />2. I've seen bear-hunting dogs. I don't know how much training is involved, but they way they hunt is for the "bear hunter" to outfit Rolf the dog with a radio collar and then go about his daily business--the "bear hunter"'s daily business, I mean--whilst keeping one ear tuned to the scanner. Rolf in the meantime meanders the woods until he perhaps encounters a bear. There's no protection for Rolf should he bump into one. So wolves, lions, tigers or bears . . Rolf's a goner regardless. <br /><br />3. Does the DNR require proof that these dogs are "trained hunting dogs" as these scammers are likely to claim? I can imagine the outcry if we were to ask as little proof from food stamp recipients. <br /><br />Beloved family pets or trained hunting dogs. It seems as if you can have it both ways at least until the DNR changes its rules.<br /><br />I have no problems with compensating farmers for loss of livestock (but not crops--c'mon now!). This deal sounds more like welfare for rednecks.
