08/21/2002 "Now Wisconsin Has Kill Zones"

Please help stop the DNR's plan to exterminate thousands of deer in their effort to help "curb Chronic Wasting Disease."
The DNR is planning to exterminate thousands of deer, eventually the entire herd. They tell us that this will stop Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD spores live in the earth where the deer have been, especially deer in overcrowded conditions.
Killing all the deer in Wisconsin will not stop CWD. As soon as they have wiped out the current herd the DNR will import a new herd and we will be expected to pay for that as well. But the spores will still be in the ground.
All those big brains at the DNR yet, as the animal rights people have noticed in the past, they are just idiot killers who learned to speak a polished form of BS in college and graduate school. They did acquire all kinds of important skills that might have benefited all of us. But they never learned to think critically about the assumptions and values absorbed in their childhood.
The DNR has over built the herd through a variety of methods in order to feed the $$$$ big bucks $$$$$ hunting industry in Wisconsin. It employs most of the university's elite so called experts as long as they have the "animals were put on earth for humans to exploit" mentality. The DNR's only answer to every animal condition is - kill it. Kill it with guns, kill it with arrows, kill it with historic weapons, kill it with dogs, kill it with clubs, kill it with traps, kill it when it is caged; kill in the dark; shine it; bait it, trap it and kill it.

Even hunters are disturbed by these last orders and one third of the farmers in the kill zone don't want to participate, others are not going to shoot deer they cannot eat. It is the ethics of the best of them. No problem-the DNR just hires more mercenaries. The world is filled with killers who would do it for free and who are certainly available for pay. This job could last five or six years.
It is interesting that the DNR Kill Zone encompasses Dane and Iowa County where the DNR headquarters are located. Although they have not tested any other areas of the state, they are insisting that the infected deer are located only in this kill area and if we quick kill all the deer in this area, we can eradicate all of CWD in Wisconsin. Many people think this is just their usual stupidity, but I wonder. I think they know something we do not. I think they know where it came from but for some reason they do not want us to know. One of their disgusting programs probably, dragging animals in and out of Wisconsin for profit.
With Spring here, the baby fawns are being born, just to become motherless because the DNR wants a hysteria hunt. As a solution to this problem, guess what the DNR proposes? Oh come on, its' the DNR, you can guess. Kill the fawns naturally. What a surprise.
Their "sharpshooters" and goons stooges are doing just that and having a good time on their genocidal group hunts, that we are funding. Trucked back and forth to the sites, killing every night and killing as much as they want. Ah, the good life.
But unfortunately, the DNR never thought about disposing of the bodies. Details, Details, those pesky details. With a little more information from sources other than the DNR, Wisconsin counties refused to allow the DNR to dispose of the headless bodies in their landfill. (Spores;Soil; duh)
Normal people and children wanting to take advantage of summer activities will not be safe in the public parks. However, they have not been safe there for a while. Now, the risk is increased with hunters shooting left and right at deer in public land and on private lands. Gradually, the park areas in Wisconsin have been narrowing for non-hunters. People have been killed by hunters. But it seems not enough to wake the sheep people to the stench of thousands of rotting carcasses.
Well the tax bill is going to wake up everyone. The DNR is going to build crematoriums and state labs to "test" the deer; it is going to hire medical personnel for the labs and this on top of the sharp shooters, veterinarians, wardens, hunt coordinators and public relations persons, trips to other states to "conference", overtime and on and on. The sale of hunting licenses will drop as mothers are not going to feed their children poison.
And the shumck taxpayers are going to shovel and shovel up their money for the boy's fun kill at the same time the sheep politicians are removing the cap on teachers salaries.
The people working at McDonald and in the supermarkets and at Walgreen, and in the restaurants, at the car wash, and malls, at the pizza places, in day care centers, the people who wash floors, people who do not live in Madison or work for the government; people without medical insurance or 401k retirement funds; single people living on one income; older Americans living on fixed incomes going without medication to pay their property taxes;the people you never really notice; they are going to break under this.
The DNR should not be allowed to drag the more rational people in Wisconsin into this expensive quicksand but only the politicians can stop them. I guess you know where that leaves us.
No justice-just us.
But we are fighting the State. If you would like to help, donate to finance the legal work. A petition is being drafted to stop the DNR by Attorney David Mandell (608) 256-7765.
The Alliance for Animals is co-ordinating the legal defense fund. All donations are tax-deductible and donations will go towards the "Deer Conservation Project" if marked for that purpose. Your money can help pay for the injunction and the legal work going into it.
For more information on how to actually get involved; circulate petitions and speak or write on the issue; please contact Veterinarian and Wildlife rehabilitator John Barnes at: 608-845-6026. But first, read what is on the website of Citizens Against Irrational Deer Slaughter (CAIDS)is a great place to volunteer to become active in the campaign to stop the deer slaughter. The site contains articles, research, petitions, and contact people.

Although most animals infected will die on their own shooting the entire herd is no better than letting them all die the only problem is that it can be spread to domestic cattle other alternatives should be considered!!! ps animal rights people are crazy!!!!!
