Re: the Wolf thing. We're already seeing it in Wisconsin. I'm not sure how well the science behind it is, so I think it might be overstated, but there was a study based on trackers that show a massive decline already since Trump removed them. :\

And our Republican legislature and the crony in the DNR (Dept of Natural Resources) are really making it worse. The DNR head was appointed by Scott Walker (the POS governor who fucked this state up with his Republican buddies since 2010)... This guy was supposed to go a while back and an appointed replacement was given, but he's refusing to step down. And apparently there is nothing we can do to force him out. And of course he's for this kind of thing.

It's awful... I don't begrudge people who actually have to deal with wolves attacking their farms, but the fact is farming is so insignificant now, the decline has been disastrous, if they want to protect their farms, they should have been focusing on agribusiness/industrial farming. But nah, blame the wolves. And of course, killing the wolves is going to cause yet more roadkill due to surplus populations. These assholes just want to kill for the fun of it.

Proper management of resources via hunting and conservation can be done, but the so called leaders of this state's management are in it for the hunters alone.

I am sorry. We clearly need more wolves and fewer people.
