How Michigan’s Wildlife Management is Undermined

Statement from MUCC Executive Director Erin McDonough On Anti-Hunter’s Petition Collection Process
“We are not surprised that the group ‘Keep Wolves Protected’ was successful at purchasing the signatures required for a ballot referendum with funds provided by the anti-hunting organization, Humane Society of the United States. We are, however, saddened by the waste of resources expended by a group that claims to support wildlife in an effort that will ultimately delay science-based management of wolves,” said Erin McDonough, Executive Director of MUCC. “The coalition and Washington-based HSUS have openly boasted about the fact that they would spend between $3 and $6 per signature to obtain the necessary signatures in an effort to force their agenda on the people of Michigan. As true conservationists, we see that as a tremendous waste of resources that could have been put to use to actually help aid conservation efforts, improve habitat and ultimately make a real difference for wildlife.” Read more

Remember the legal odyssey involving Feld Entertainment, owner of the Ringling Bros. circus, and a cabal of animal rights groups?

The court concluded that their key witness was a essentially a “paid plaintiff and fact witness” who was “not credible.” Feld countersued under federal RICO statutes, alleging racketeering, fraud and witness bribery.
The second case is ongoing, but it is in the first lawsuit that there is news. Lots more here…

A Different Kind of Waxwing
Bohemian Waxwings by Doug Reeves, assistant chief, DNR Wildlife Division
As I was hauling firewood near our house, I saw a flock of about 30 birds light in a box elder tree along our lane, about 100 yards off. At first glance I thought they might be starlings, but something made me look closer. When I got close enough, I recognized crests on the chunky bird’s heads – clearly they were waxwings. It’s always cool to see waxwings. I assumed I was seeing cedar waxwings, Read more |
