Stop the Brutality Against Wolves in WI (Anyone can sign)

Stop the Brutality Against Wolves in WI (Anyone can sign)

The Issue

On April 2, 2012, Governor Scott Walker signed a law creating a wolf hunting & trapping season in WI. It will allow for hunting wolves via firearms, trapping (including steel leghold traps), using packs of dogs, and bait and predator calls. It will even allow clubbing.
The hunt is extreme overkill. Only 8% of the wolf population are responsible for livestock predation. The hunt calls for up to a 60% reduction in the population.
This is on top of the wolves killed illegally, via car accidents and disease.
Non-lethal wolf management methods are proven to work.
(In the management program used not a single livestock animal was lost to wolves using the non-lethal method. See link below.)

The brutality of the hunting and trapping of wolves is not acceptable.
