Bloodbath in Wisconsin: Wisconsin DNR Openly Violating State Law Regarding Night Wolf “Hunting”
As I am sure all of you know by now at Midnight this morning the Jefferson County Circuit Court ordered wolf slaughter commenced.

Wisconsin to Slaughter Hundreds of Wolves in Just Six Days
If anymore evidence was needed about what an absolutely cruel and vile state Wisconsin is, look no farther than the events of the past five days regarding our gray wolf population.

Wildlife in Crisis: Wisconsin Doubles Bobcat Kill Quota and The Lack of Democracy in “Wildlife Management”
I’m sure that all of you hear or read daily the time tested propaganda about how the killing cartels claim that “hunters” are “conservationists” and “fund conservation.” You also hear how non-hunters don’t “fund” anything. Not only are these claims greatly embellished, they are also patently false. Not once have I ever heard a non-hunter…
Hounder Free For All: Wisconsin’s Wildlife Hell Is Worse Than We Thought
For decades the State of Wisconsin has been waging a war on our native wildlife and using hounds as four legged weapons.

Just when you thought that Wisconsin’s “hound depredation payment” scam couldn’t get anymore ridiculous along comes this. From the Wisconsin State Journal: Under a budget provision approved by the Joint Finance Committee, the DNR would write a check as soon as it was confirmed that a dog was killed by a wolf instead of waiting…
How is Breeding, Raising, and Releasing Non-Native Birds to be Killed, “Conservation?”
One of the most ridiculously framed arguments that the killing cartels use to justify their wanton bloodlust is that if they don’t kill wildlife, they will die. Yes that is their chief argument along with a myriad of other absurd statements. The modern “great white hunter” would lead you to believe that they are doing…
Wisconsin STILL Rewarding Hounder Criminals and Scofflaws for Hound “Depredations”
In January of 2014 Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism writer Bill Lueders published an article called “State pays scofflaws over hound deaths.” The article delved into Wisconsin’s program that pays hounders for dogs that are allegedly killed by wolves and for “vet bills” for hounds allegedly injured by wolves. Since 1987 Wisconsin hounders have been paid…
Death by a Thousand Hounds (And Traps): The Endangered Species List is Not a “Farm Team” for Hostile States
It’s been almost one year since the end of Wisconsin’s last “legal” wolf slaughter and the subsequent federal court ruling that placed the species back on the Endangered Species Act protected list. During that last year the states, anti-wolf politicians, the killing cartels, certain media outlets, big ag lobbies, and even misguided wolf “experts” have…
