Whackos File Suit to Stop Wisconsing Wolf Hunt

GW:  Really?  Not that I didn’t expect the relentless whackos to fire away at game management based on science.  No, that’s not it.  But, “animal cruelty?” as a basis to stop the control of wolves?  How ’bout cruelty to livestock?  Oh that’s right, it’s better that the wolves eat the meat before we do.

On Wednesday, August 8th a coalition of animal rights groups filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) in an attempt to stop the state’s upcoming wolf hunt.

The hunting season, which was passed by the state’s legislature earlier this year and was recently approved by the WDNR, allows the use of dogs to track wolves.  The anti-hunting groups are claiming that the use of dogs to hunt wolves is a violation of the state’s animal cruelty laws and are seeking to stop the issuance of wolf hunting licenses.

Natural Resources Commission to meet Aug. 9 in Lansing

GW:  Remember how so many hunters squawked about closing down artificial baiting when we had that one case of CWD in a captive herd?  The DNR was acting on its approved plan, that’s all.  So, here’s your chance to be heard.  It could be very interesting.  There’s other good stuff to be discussed, as well.

Just read the whole post, because not much of it relates to baiting, but it’s in there.

The Michigan Natural Resources Commission (NRC) will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday, Aug. 9, at the Michigan State University Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health, 4125 Beaumont Road, Lansing. Read more
