The t’Rump administration has moved to roll back protections for imperiled species at the federal level.  Meanwhile, Wisconsin State legislators have recently passed a bill that would mandate a wolf hunt with a hard cap goal regardless of science, pack health or ecological conditions.  A falsehood perpetrated by these legislators is that wolves are causing untold damage to the agricultural community and impacting deer herd populations.  This despite evidence showing that the deer population has increased by 80% over the past ten years, and damage done by deer to the agriculture economy far exceeds that by wolves.  Melissa Smith, founding member of Friends for the Wisconsin Wolf speaks with host Tony Castañeda to urge people to get in touch with government officials to put a stop to these senseless proposals.
