Taking a tip from Canada’s government-sanctioned seal hunts (motto: “Eat more baby seal”), the state of Wisconsin is considering making it legal to hunt wild cats because they hunt lovebirds. See, they started it! A vote by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, an independent group created by the state for reasons no one can remember, wound up with 51 counties supporting the concept, 20 against it, and one county not bothering to vote. Do I detect a non-voting trend? [see below] Before you grab your gun and head to Wisconsin remember this has a long way to go. The Conservation Congress will first consider it, they’ll send their recommendations to the board and the Department of Natural Resources, and then it still has to be voted on by the State Legislature. Hey, in the meantime there’s always Earl The Dead Cat.
