The Case for the Cranes: Why Wisconsin Should Say No to Hunting Sandhill Cranes

SIGN OUR LETTER

Legislator-led committee to “study” sandhill crane management, including potential hunting season already lacks transparency and inclusivity

The sandhill crane’s comeback story is one for the books. From the brink of disappearance, they’ve soared back to healthy numbers, a true victory for wildlife conservation efforts. The people have spoken, and the message is clear: the majority of Wisconsinites are not in favor of a hunting season for these iconic birds.

The argument that hunting will solve crop damage is flawed. The damage occurs mainly in the spring, outside the proposed hunting season, making this a misguided Despite their current stability, sandhill crane numbers could plummet with the introduction of hunting, undoing decades of conservation work especially trying to battle and be resilient to climate change.

Please read our letter and sign your name. Then share with everyone you can in the next few weeks. Wisconsin residents are preferred. If you live in Tittl’s district contact me at msmith@wiwolvesandwildlife.org

    Why in God’s name would anyone kill sandhill cranes??? Hunters of innocent wildlife who are just “doing their thing” are “knuckledraggers” from ancient times who beat their chests every time they kill something incapable of fighting back. It’s disgusting. You ancient A-holes need to EVOLVE and join the civilized society which understands that Mother Nature knew how to keep life in balance before Idiot Rednecks LIKE YOU came along.
