Animal Rights’ Groups File Lawsuit To Stop Wisconsin Wolf Hunting Season.

Midwest Environmental Advocates said the state DNR and its regulating board set up the Wisconsin wolf hunting season without restrictions needed to stop what it called “deadly animal fighting.” Attorney Jodi Habush Sinykin said there’s strong agreement among hunters, landowners, ecologists, trackers, and humane societies that the rules for the season are inadequate. She called it “state-sanctioned” animal fighting and a violation of Wisconsin’s animal cruelty laws.

The DNR is allowing the use of hunting dogs for the wolf season.  Opponents say that is the reason behind the lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed in Dane County Circuit court with several humane and environmental groups as co-plaintiffs.
