Dead Wolf (or coyote) Wisconsin 1909
March 14, 2012
All the pleas, the testimony from Native Americans, didn’t make any difference at all. The Wisconsin Assembly passed AB502 early this morning. Let’s turn back the clock to 1909, the second wolf pogrom is under way except this time, they’ll keep around a small, beleaguered group of wolves to torture every year for trophy hunters. I can’t tell you how disgusted and angry I feel right now. Three years of this madness since Obama delisted wolves. And for what?
In the brief AP report it was mentioned the bill passed over the objection of Democrats so I’m assuming all the ugly particulars sailed right through. Now wolves can be hunted with dogs (a pack of up to six dogs can be used to track and trail a wolf), hunted at night, clubbed to death in traps, shooting across roads will be allowed, the use of almost any type of weapon including muzzle loaders, handguns, shotguns, bow and arrows, crossbows, traps and snares, predator calls, baiting and a hunt extending into wolf breeding season, allowing pregnant alpha wolves to be shot and killed along with their unborn pups. Nice going Wisconsin.
These are the groups who reported lobbying for this monstrosity of a bill. This wolf hunt is being driven by “thrill kill seekers” and has nothing to do with science but everything to do with providing amusement for trophy hunters.

Wisconsin has declared war on its wolves. Please consider a boycott of Wisconsin products and tourism. There are plenty of other places to visit and buy cheese. Shame on the Wisconsin legislature! Shame!
