Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper in reminding the Wisconsin citizenry that the Vos-led gerrymanders, by blocking new members to the DNR board, are keeping in place such audacious regs as the one allowing summer training of bear hounds—ONLY in Wisconsin, and the policy of paying a hound owner $2500 when his hound is killed by pup- defending wolves.
Such unbelievable, outrageous policies, written in part by out of state bear hounders, have largely replaced what was once a proud Wisconsin conservation program built around science, decency and a love of nature. It was a model for the rest of the country.
Now the MINORITY-REPRESENTATIVE Wis. Repub legislature continues to shove special-interest, indecent, indigestible immoral measures down the throat of a choking public.
There has been no democracy in Wisconsin since big money hired Walker to rob the moral bank and ride off into the gerrymandered sunset.
Time for the posse to head out!
