THE WESTERNER

Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Wolves kill four more bear-hunting dogs

Four more bear-hunting hounds have been killed by wolves in northern Wisconsin while running free during bear-hunting training sessions. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reported Thursday that the dogs were killed, and another injured, in separate incidents over the past two weeks in Bayfield, Burnett, Clark and Oneida counties. The latest dog deaths follow four deaths in Ashland, Clark, Oneida and Forest counties earlier in July. Wisconsin has more than 500 wolves that, under a court settlement, were returned last month to federal protection under the Endangered Species Act. It remains illegal under federal law to kill a wolf in Wisconsin, except for federal trappers who kill wolves near where livestock or dogs have been killed...NewsTribune
