The Lansing City Pulse endorses a NO vote on Proposals 1 & 2: Proponents of wolf hunting in Michigan haven’t made their case for the two statewide ballot proposals. They talk in terms of protecting farmers in the UP. But hunting predatory wolves is already legal. They say a hunting season is needed so that wolves get the message to stay away, but there’s very little evidence that works. They deny modern technology, which allows us to track every wolf and capture those that are dangerous. Moreover, hunting is a real slap in the face of the state’s Native American residents, in whose culture the wolf plays an important role. What this appears to be about is creating wolf hunting as a sport in Michigan — but without the underlying justification or at least rationalization that we kill for food, which wolf meat is not. Wolf hunting as a sport is just killing. Vote no and no.
