Dane County Judge, Peter C. Anderson, has decided to delay his decision on an injunction to stop Wisconsin’s impending wolf slaughter/dog fighting season until Friday. While the DNR, hounders, and other anti-wolf elements attempt to defend the legalization of dog fighting the judge is taking more time to research the issue. This is good because it shows that George Meyer and the DNR’s argument that animal cruelty toward wildlife is protected is not a “slam-dunk.” Let’s hope that the judge at minimum puts and end to the legalized dog fighting that Rep. Scott Suder (R-ALEC), George Meyer, and the bear hounders consider to be a protected “tradition.”

Yes, great news
Here is WDFW’s About-Face decision to kill wolves from the Wedge Pack:
“September 4, 2012 – State wildlife managers said today they are resuming their effort to lethally remove up to four wolves from a pack that has repeatedly preyed on livestock in the Wedge region of Northeast Washington.
The most recent confirmed attacks on livestock occurred last week, when wolves from the Wedge pack injured two calves from the Diamond M ranch in northern Stevens County. Those depredations brought to 10 the number of injured and dead livestock from the Diamond M herd since July. … The two calves were removed from the range on August 30, one day after WDFW Director Phil Anderson temporarily suspended a 12-day effort to kill wolves from the pack to break its pattern of predation. Department staff killed a non-breeding member of the pack on August 7 but did not kill any wolves between August 18 and 29. WDFW staff will return on Wednesday morning, Sept. 5, to the remote Wedge region, which is located just south of the Canadian border and between the Columbia and Kettle rivers. …”
Thanks for the update, Will. I knew that their decision not to “remove” more Wedge pack members was on hold for the 3 day weekend, but I hadn’t heard they were out there again already. I’ll pass this on…
