6 tribes sue Wisconsin to try to stop November wolf hunt
Fox News
Six Native American tribes sued Wisconsin on Tuesday to stop its planned gray wolf hunt in November, asserting the hunt violates their treaty rights and endangers an animal they consider sacred.
The tribal lawsuit comes three weeks after a coalition of wildlife advocacy groups sued to stop Wisconsin’s wolf hunt this fall and void a state law mandating annual hunts, arguing that the statutes don’t give wildlife managers any leeway to consider population estimates.
Hunters blew past their limit during a court-ordered hunt in February. The state Department of Natural Resources set the quota at 119, but hunters killed 218 wolves in just four days, forcing an early end to the season.
