Posts: 582 | hardly. the USHS is a group of radicals that want to completely ban hunting/fishing etc... Don't believe me? google them and you will see. They are actually protesting the removal of geese close to airports even thou it poses a huge danger to planes. | ||

Posts: 1764 Location: Ogden, Ut | That is indeed an odd marriage, but the goal is admirable. Once HSUS figures out that the main reason DNR wants to save baby animals is so that as they become adults, people can kill and eat them, things will probably go sour... I do love it when a wildlife agency pulls one over on the antis though. And it certainly qualifies as tapping an non-traditional funding source! S. Edited by sorenson 5/14/2010 6:00 PM | ||

I do love it when a wildlife agency pulls one over on the antis though. And it certainly qualifies as tapping an non-traditional funding source! S. The only reason the DNR wants people to leave baby animals alone is to reduce the time wardens spend on such cases. Randy Stark, the cheif DNR warden, and the guy who solicitied funds from those wackos, said so himself. Now, think about this. Let's say HSUS gets an idea to help stop the "needless suffering" that muskies endue while being caught so they start a campain to eliminate all muskie fishing including C&R fishing. HUmmmmm......maybe its time to call-in that 6,000 -dollar favor we did for the WI DNR. That probibly won't happen but you get the idea, there is no doubt that a wacked-out group of activists has gained leverage against our DNR, and our DNR invited them to do so! That is bad for all hunters, fishermen, and trappers of our state. I say give every cent of that tainted money back. This is not a laughing issue. And if anyone thinks that HSUS is in any way affiliated with your local shelter, please, please, please educate yourself. HSUS is a radical group with an agenda to stop all hunting, fishing, trapping, animal agriculture, medical testing, etc. etc. They are not your local shelter!!!!!!!! They named themselves that to create confusion in order to raise more $$$$$$$$$$, sickening! | |||

HUmmmmm......maybe its time to call-in that 6,000 -dollar favor we did for the WI DNR. Sure, it lessens the burdens on the wardens - that is a good thing. It allows them the time to go chase folks targeting muskies earlier than regulations allow - or whatever your cause for the day may be. But if you have a DNR that would even consider sacrificing thousands of anglers and their license dollars (and the associated Federal Aid match) for 6,000 measly dollars as a 'payback of a favor' you've got bigger problems in your agency than you realize. Yes, HSUS is a terroristic organization bent on elimination of hunting and fishing all together. It's contribution to local pet shelters is infinitesimally small, but if they want to hand me some money so that I can accomplish my mission to provide the most efficient and effective service to the clientele who pays my salary, I'll take it and smirk all the way to my tree stand.

Posts: 999 | One of the guys that I recently spoke with about this topic at my work feels that the DNR is letting the wolf and bear populaton in WI get so high that with the low deer numbers the predators will be able to maintain the population and keep it down and there will be no need for hunting, hence the marriage.

Mr Musky If any DNR actually wanted to discontinue the act of sport hunting, it would hardly need to recruit the HSUS. The agency already has the statutory authority to do it. S. | ||
