Hi Rick 

 Wolves of Douglas County Wisconsin a grassroots organization is in full swing with its campaign to ban wolf hound hunting in Wisconsin. Here is one of the FAQ on Wolf Hound hunting: 

"Hound hunters traditionally train their dogs to focus on specific prey by releasing their dogs to surround, attack and terrorize a prey animal (e.g. a bear cub or fox) for hours on end (up to 16 hours/day) enclosed in a small, open barrel or "roll cage." At this point it remains disturbingly unclear as to how hound hunters will train their dogs to pursue wolves instead of other animals—will it be by capturing wolves and allowing their dogs to attack them in barrels and pens?  How isn't this worse than illegal dog fighting?"(TM)
