Two More WI Dogs Killed By Wolves; State Reimbursement Payments Possible

Wisconsin is the only state in the country that reimburses hunters whose dogs are killed by wolves - - even if the hunters let their dogs loose in areas during hunting or training that the DNR has designed as wolf caution zones due to attacks on dogs.

Dogs have been killed by territorial wolves in so-called pack rendezvous sites, or when protecting bait used by bear hunters training their hounds.

The owners of the two most recently-reported dogs killed in January are eligible for a state reimbursement of $2,500 per dog. One dog was chasing coyotes, the other snowshoe hares.

This makes about as much sense as exercising my dogs on I-94 and expecting the DOT to reimburse me when my dogs are run over in traffic.
