Hound Hunting Hurts Animals And People
February 22, 2024
Every hunting season in Wisconsin, hunters release hundreds of hound dogs in packs to chase and harass black bears and other forest creatures. Besides harming wildlife—including protected species, like wolves—hound hunting hurts the dogs, who can be injured or killed in bloody fights with the animals they pursue. This brutal practice also threatens the safety of humans who visit the forests where it happens.
Wisconsin legislators have recently passed a bill allowing hound hunting to extend into the spring months of May and June, when black bears have just emerged from hibernation and are out with cubs, wolves are at den sites protecting their pups, and animals are most vulnerable.
With your help, we can stop this bill from becoming law and let the wildlife of Wisconsin’s Northwoods focus on raising their young in peace.
Tell the governor to veto this cruel bill now!
