Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper hates it when he must admit being wrong—as infrequently as it happens, but after naming the election of Ron Johnson and the temporary establishment of dog racing tracks as the dumbest things to happen in Wisconsin, he recognizes that he overlooked the fact that Wisconsin welcomes bear hound addicts from all over the country to destroy the natural summer tranquility by turning loose their untrained hounds statewide to torment and chase all other living creatures in the middle of their reproduction cycles.
For two months, beginning July 1, bear hound sorts gang into Wisconsin since it is the ONLY state where such outrageous activity is not only permitted but encouraged; the owners of hounds that they claim are killed by wolves protecting their pups get a $2500 payment from the state.
In a state that likes to think of itself as intelligent and progressive, the only explanation can be that basic decency has been gerrymandered out by the Repubs who write resource rules at the behest of Tom Tiffany and his bear hound pals. It is akin to welcoming the fox into the hen house or encouraging prospective perverts to rampage through school playgrounds.
It is a dumb, totally stupid thing, and the keeper revises his “dumbest-Wisconsin-thing-rating” and puts it at the top of the list.
