“Venturing into uncharted territory, we need dramatically new leadership and government laws” ~ “Wild Law” by Cormac Cullinan
On July 17, the Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit in federal court aiming to strike down a recently amended Wisconsin statute that “bans photographing, videotaping, approaching or even maintaining a visual or physical proximity to a hunter.” The law carries a penalty of up to $10,000 and nine months in jail. The law currently states that citizens cannot take more than two photos of a hunter on our public lands.

The nimrods are a nasty bunch of bullies. What else can you call people who get a kick out of trapping animals, chasing them with dogs (whose lives they don’t value either), and filling them with bullets and arrows?
It’s troublesome that now they are joining Big Ag and attacking freedom of speech. Of course, neither wants to advertise the torture of animals behind closed doors of slaughterhouses or in the woods away from society. But equating the whistleblowers who document the abuse with terrorists and threatening them with prison is a travesty.

Ridiculous. Just imagine someone being accused of looking a hunter for too long! Cannot be enforced, and the visual information will still be remembered. I’d stay away though for fear for my life with some of these ex felons involved in wolf/dog fights, from the sounds of it. They might chase you down with a snowmobile.
