Cruel WI bear hunt costs many dogs, big dollars

This blog has long followed the only-in-Wisconsin cruelty enabling program which pays bear hunters $2,500 for any hound killed by wolves - - even if the bear hunters were running their hounds

during 'training' through known wolf activity areas, or in bear-baiting sites which would also attract wolves, and even if the dead hounds' owners had a history of losing dogs to wolves or had accumulated hunting violations.

And now we have up-to-date figures showing that bear hunters literally threw a record number of hounds into fatal confrontations with wolves last year and collected nearly $100,000 in public dollar reimbursements.

On, Wisconsin.
