A Dane County judge has lifted his injunction against wolf 'hounding.' Taxpayers will pick up the tab for dogs that are killed or wounded up to $2,500 per dog. The state paid out $37,000 to bear and other hunters for their dead dogs in 2011. If the law stands, Wisconsin will be the only state to allow wolf hunting with dogs - a totally unscientific and cruel approach to wolf management.
