Wild Cat Hunting Plan Dies
Doyle: Plan Makes Wisconsin Laughingstock

POSTED: 4:39 pm CDT May 13, 2005

MANITOWOC, Wis. -- A proposal to let hunters shoot wild cats is dead.

The group that raised the issue decided Friday to let the issue fade away, about a month after Gov. Jim Doyle said the plan was making the state a laughingstock.

The proposed law change would classify wild, free-roaming cats as an unprotected species.

That change would allow licensed hunters to shoot feral cats, which are considered an invasive species that kills songbirds and other wildlife.

2. Whew!
I was beginning to wonder about Wisconsin. I'm back to my former notion of it being a fairly decent, if quirky, place.
