State-sanctioned animal cruelty - - a frequent topic on this blog because it illustrates some only-in-Wisconsin bloody behaviors and programs - - continues unabated in the Wisconsin woods this year, where 23 bear hounds have been killed and five more injured by wolves during so-called bear hunting 2016 training runs.
The data is collected by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, which pays out to bear hound owners - - even to those who are scofflaws, willfully ignorant of known wolf activity areas and even to repeat payment collectors - - $2,500 per sacrificed dog through an only-in-Wisconsin payout program lobbied through the Legislature by so-called sporting organizations.
