11/19/2002 "Wisconsin - where 37% of population are right-to-lifers and the rest work for the DNR"

Wisconsin is supposedly a "progressive" state. Madison was voted the best place to live.

Wisconsin insurance companies will not pay for a birth control prescriptions nor are Wisconsin hospitals required to give women the morning after pill when they are brought into emergency after a rape.

I wonder how much state and federal funds these non profit catholic hospitals receive. Maybe if they did not exist we would have secular hospitals who are more concerned about health than they are concerned about the child molester protecting pope's edicts.

Abortion clinics are required to give women bogus information about the fetus and then make them wait 24 hours before receiving their abortion. Since there are very few abortion clinics or doctors left in Wisconsin many of these women have traveled over 60 miles to get to a clinic. Then they are required to go for their lecture and wait 24 hours - 3 days off work instead of 1.

The deer herd has been artificially grown by the DNR until it reached 1.6 million this year. The DNR expects that hunters will kill 1/2 a million every year, and they loved it. But now they have created this CWD scare which backfired and about 80,000 hunters will not be killing this year. Uh,Oh.

So they want to use snares, and herd the deer into large groups with airplanes and shoot them down in massive groups. The DNR even sickens normal hunters. ......"In the eradication zone, opposition to the DNR efforts is widespread" (meaning the farmers and hunters will not co-operate in "eradication" because they know CWD is all over the state, not just in one zone and "eradication" won't cure it).

Now the DNR wants to offer bounties of up to $100.00 per deer. After all its' not their money, it is ours. We are also paying for their time in the woods playing "sharpshooter". The DNR boys don't have to do their regular work. They are all in the woods and at conferences "dealing" with CWD; and ooooooo and maybe they can have airplane rides next.

And it turns out they also lied about the economic value of hunting to Wisconsin. All we heard for years was the great economic value of hunting to Wisconsin but the Nov. 17th, 2002, Journal Sentinel did an excellent analysis of the actual economic benefit of hunting to Wisconsin. To sum it up, "everything that hunters spend money on, from guns to clothing to travel to land use , amounts to one third of the revenue generated by Briggs & Stratton", a local Corporation.

If normal people had created this kind of mess at their jobs, they would be fired. But in government jobs the taxpayers just have to keep paying their bloated salaries, benefits and clean up costs.

The DNR has now convinced the legislators to pass a new law forbidding citizens from feeding the deer this winter.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Nov 17th 2002, page 17A:

"A severe winter would "help", at least in northern Wisconsin, where sustained periods of below-zero temperatures and heavy snows could cause starvation. The last winters to do that were 1995-96 and 1996-97.

All this pain because the DNR allowed the growth of Elk and Deer "farms" while at the same time advertising themselves as protectors of native species. Now the protector of the native species DNR is consciously planning to starve deer to death on top of the shooting, the bow and arrows, the muzzle loaders, the baiting, the shining, the killing of does and fawns. The DNR kill by every cruel way they can think of and now they want to use starvation. They sicken normal human beings.

We should protest the DNR starvation law. Our signs should say: Starve the DNR: Not Deer; Cut DNR funding!
