Irresponsible huntrs

I remember that woman calling me. The hunters got by with shooting her dog, because thay said it looked like a coyote and it was chasing THEIR deer. The dog was all white. She asked them how they could mistake her beloved, white dog for a coyote. They said there were lots of white coyotes. She called to ask me if that were true. I told her that I have worked with coyotes for many years and had never seen or even heard of a white coyote. I felt so sorry for her. She had watched her beloved companion die and then had to face the lying, hunters on her own. I bet they got away with it. Hunters and trappers seem to have a blank check to do what they want. Now the DNR wants to go into our schools to teach these same behaviors to the up and coming next generation.
I just remembered. They shot her dog twice. The first time, it ran for home. The hunters weren't satisfied with the one shot. They had to shoot the dog again.

Critter Justice

When Citizens for Common Sense Government met several months ago to discuss the killing of two Porter County pet dogs by a hunter, we agreed to post comments and findings relative to the killing and torturing of animals throughout Indiana. To what end? To discover how our law enforcement, judicial system, politicians, and most relevantly, the conservation officers on our Hoosier payroll, respond to the legal and ethical needs of the nonhunting community. We came together because there were shared incidents of discrimination and outright contempt for folks who did not possess a hunting license. More ominously, nonhunters with animal issues were frequently given "misinformation" by DNR officers. Did you know there is no penalty for DNR officers and administrators who mislead, omit on purpose, or in simple and direct terms - LIE? Even with the use of a Freedom of Information request, the DNR need only respond. They are NOT obligated to provide accurate or correct information. Just information. Try that when filling out your state tax forms!
