Robert Williams: Corporate interests, not wolves, are the real danger in Wisconsin

Dear Editor: Sen. Ron Johnson, Rep. Sean Duffy and Gov. Scott Walker were campaigning in Wausau this week. Johnson made sure to highlight his current "work" trying to get the grey wolf removed from the protected species list as a way in which he's working for Wisconsinites. "Just get that gray wolf delisted so that livestock's safer and let's face it — I do not want to see a tragedy where a person is killed by wolves," Johnson said.

Don't let this fear mongering win at the ballot box, with Republicans winning the Senate and strengthening their hold on the House and state legislatures. There’s no reason for the Republicans to stop, however — right-wing propaganda and Koch-backed conservative groups who favor Johnson and the like have done nothing for Wisconsin except incite fear and hatred of other Americans and of wolves. Scaring the voters, sadly, works.

Anti-wolf campaigns like these are paid for by conservative political organizations antagonistic toward the federal government and portray wolves as preying on children, livestock and decimating the deer herd...............................
