As expected following the news the last few days about the illegal killing of Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe by an American dentist, the killing cartels and their apologists have taken to various media outlets to defend their “sport” and continue to foster the lie that it has something to do with real “conservation.” One…

The Lesson From Cecil’s Killing: Let’s Not Forget What Happens in Our Own Backyard
On the request of various wildlife advocacy groups I have “cleaned up” my original post and removed some “blue” language and descriptions of the folks involved in the death of Cecil and the wildlife below. As outrage continues to mount against the Minnesota dentist and the killing groups that enabled him to bait and kill Cecil the…
The Lesson From Cecil: Let Us Not Forget the Other Victims of Trophy Killing Death Fetishists Right in Our Own Backyards
As outrage continues to mount against the Minnesota dentist and the killing cartels that enabled him to bait and kill Cecil the Lion we must not forget what is happening in our own backyards each and every day. From last year’s wolf slaughter season in Wisconsin: How about this “conservationist” posing with a puppy that…
Cecil the Lion, 832F, and the Death Fetishists That Pervert Conservation
Anyone that regularly reads my blog knows that while I find all forms of modern hunting deplorable, I hold a special revulsion for those that kill predators such as bears, canines, and big cats. This is especially true of the predator “hunters” in Wisconsin that are allowed to hound, bait, and trap just about every…
Fake “Patriots” and “Tyranny:” My Friday Evening Rant
This piece is not directly about wildlife but it is about the same type of people that are out to torment, torture, and kill it. As I got up this morning and looked at my news feed the top story was about another mass shooting in a movie theater. This time in Louisiana. As I…
In Wisconsin the Term “Family Tradition” Means Torturing and Killing Wildlife
Today on the Capital Times website a letter to the editor was posted about something that I have long questioned and been disgusted by. Why is killing animals considered a “family tradition” in this ass backward state? Wisconsin allows some of the most brutal and barbaric methods of “hunting” of anywhere in the country or even world,…
Bear Baiting and Hounding: Wisconsin’s Culture of Cruelty in Action
Wisconsin’s Culture of Cruelty Wisconsin is a state that likes to pride itself on the availability of it’s “natural resources.” For normal people this means our land, water, and living and breathing creatures. The reality is that for much of Wisconsin “natural resources” are nothing more than living targets for some of the most disgusting, unethical,…
Wisconsin Poised to Give Foreign Oil Pipeline Company Your Land and You Can’t Do a Thing About It
Over the past four and a half years our state has been besieged by the most extreme and arguably fascist cabal of right wing politicians that the country has seen. Our fellow citizens are apparently okay with this because they keep voting the same crooked and sleazy politicians, right up to our absentee “governor” back…
My Rant of the Day: Hounding and the Perversion of the Word “Conservation.”
One of the annoying and sometimes amusing elements of being a pro-wildlife blogger is that I often get comments and emails from hounders and trappers that think they are “educating” me about why they do what they do. Sometimes they blather on about how “god” put wolves and other wildlife here to tortured by medieval torture…
My Open Letter To President Obama about His Hostile Polices and Indifference Toward Wildlife
Dear President Obama, I am writing you this letter as a simple citizen and wildlife advocate. I do not have access to big money donors, political parties, or special interest groups. Because of that this letter may not even be read by you or your staff, but I am going to try anyway. Mr. President,…
