RE=-SHARE IDIOCY of the U.S. DEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (and ALL U.S. wildlife services)..THEY SHOULD ALL BE TOTALLY ENDED. host.madison/sports/recreation/outdoors/patrick-durkin-study-questions-link-between-increases-in-lyme-disease/article_54fa6d12-a655-588d-b375-d2da48cbb5ca.html Another article of twisted logic. Foxes are needed to control rodent populations to help prevent Lyme disease. The DNR admits that fox numbers are low and they are blaming coyotes. No mention of the unlimited number of foxes killed each year by trappers in this state. DNR logic: Wolves keep coyotes in check as an apex predator. So we must kill the wolves. Coyotes kill the foxes that help control Lyme disease. So we must kill the coyotes. Foxes kill the rodents that help Lyme disease spread. So we must trap and kill endless amounts of foxes. What the hell is wrong with these people? Do they not see that our actions are what is causing this? A trapper in Wisconsin pays a $10 fee and can kill unlimited numbers of animals. They report almost a million animals killed each year. Less than 10,000 trappers report killing almost a MILLION animals each year in Wisconsin. And they wonder why key species numbers are out of whack? Why isnt the DNR placing limits on the number of foxes allowed to be killed if their numbers are low? Why are they looking to eradicate wolves if they control coyote populations? There is ZERO science here and yet the DNR pretends that their decisions are science based. In 2012-2013 trappers in Wisconsin reported setting 402,794 individual TRAPS across Wisconsin. They killed reported killing 6312 red foxes and 1810 gray foxes. Almost 500,000 legal traps mine our landscape killing native wildlife indiscriminately and who know how many pets and non-reported animals. We NEED to educate the public about this along with hounding.
