Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper, suggesting to Phyllis’s son Todd and granddaughter Taylor on how they might spend Tuesday in Madison, said it was a toss-up between the Vilas Park Zoo and the Capitol where there will be a public hearing on establishing a hunting season on sandhill cranes.
On the one hand there are the various caged animals at the Zoo, and on the other hand there are the uncaged Repub politicians doing the outrageous bidding of out-of-state hunting lobbyists in killing cranes and wolves; and keeping Wisconsin as the ONLY state allowing summer training of bear hounds. (Hounders pour into the state from all over the country.)
Never mind the fact that farmers can currently get permits to kill cranes that are eating their corn, the establishment of a hunting season is obviously important enough to occupy the attention of the gerrymandered narcissists running the minority-rule Wisconsin government.
Opt for the zoo, Todd and Taylor; the occupants are honest and much more interesting.
