Kooky Wisconsin Politicians


via Microdot


Rep. Joel Kleefisch, the Oconomowoc area Republican who is one of Scott Walker's biggest cheerleaders (he's married to the lieutenant governor, after all), thinks Wisconsin ought to make it legal to start shooting sandhill cranes.
What's your opinion? Does that look like a game bird to you?

  1. I asked Microdot in an earlier comment, and now, I'll ask you: What's wrong with hunting them? They aren't endangered, and hunting can fit into a rational game management system.

    1. Hunting is sick. It's violent. It's bloody.

      What's worse is not hunting and buying meat in the supermarket that's been mass produced on a scale that's difficult to imagine.

      If you want to do these things, knock yourself out. I'm not interested.

  2. They do it in Nebraska, tastes like chicken, only different.

  3. They are protected, they are a special treasure, they aren't game birds, and their numbers WOULD be dangerously reduced if hunting were legal.
    I agree thta they are NOT a game bird, they are not an appropriate species for hunting. Crows I don't mind; we're over run with them.

    1. You mean the way that deer have become dangerously reduced, thanks to hunting?

  4. Why don't all the hunters go out and shoot starlings and english sparrows? Those two species are far more destructive than sandhill cranes could ever be. Oh, wait, I know; they can't shoot them 'cuz they're not a "trophy" target.

    1. Feral hogs are fair game here in Arkansas, since they're an invasive species. Perhaps you're on to something, Democommie.
