RE: Humane Society of the United States and the WDNR


Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am angry at two things that the DNR has done recently. The first is their partnering with the HSUS on the PSA spots, and the second is their absolute disdain expressed regarding the hunters, trappers, and fishermen of Wisconsin, and across the country.

First, HSUS has amassed a fortune by misleading and misrepresenting itself as an organization that runs animal shelters, when in fact they have worked passionately and aggressively to end hunting and trapping across the country. The are clearly the enemy of all outdoorsmen. What they most hope to achieve is the perception of legitimacy to the donating public. The DNR has done much to supply just that. It is a slap in the face of every Wisconsin outdoorsman, and every outdoorsman in our country.

Second, the position that the DNR was surprised by the public reaction is preposterous. Either the public relations skills of the DNR are horrible, or the effort was done consciously as an end-around of the taxpaying, license-buying sportsmen. Either option is unacceptable. The DNR’s absolute disregard for the concerns of taxpaying constituents once again speaks of completely inept public relation skills, or worse, truthfully a disdain for the concerns and interests of the public.

As a concerned sportsman, I must ask that this partnership be publicly dissolved, and that such a violation of public trust never occur again.

Sincerely yours,
