Her Name Was Tulip. A Good Bear

Wisconsin gives its bears one month. On July 1, the hounds are loosed — help us stop it today.

One month of peace

They don’t know what’s coming.
We do.

For one month — all of June — Wisconsin’s wolf pups, bear cubs, and crane colts get to be young. On July 1, the state opens its hound-“training” season and the dog packs are loosed across our public forests, statewide. The young animals born this spring share those woods with the dogs.

⚠  Graphic content

This is Tulip. She was a wild bear. We removed the other images in this appeal because they were too graphic to send — but we kept this one on purpose, because you deserve to see what “tradition” actually looks like.

Out of respect for our readers, the most graphic images of hounding have been removed from this message. The single image above was kept deliberately.

In Wisconsin, wild bears are exempt from our animal cruelty laws.

We are here to change that.
