Wis. opens early wolf hunt after hunter group sues

摘要

Wisconsin wildlife officials opened a wolf season yesterday after hunting advocates sued to move the start date up from November amid fears that the Biden administration might restore protections for the animals. The Department of Natural Resources set the kill limit at 200 animals, with 119 allocated to the state and the other 81 allocated to Wisconsin's Chippewa tribes as per treaty agreements. However, the Chippewa regard the wolf as sacred and will not hunt it, leaving the working kill limit at 119.
