What’s wrong with Illinois? Once the state that won awards for animal protection and for being the most humane state, no longer. I suppose, It’s one thing to get up before dawn, and to go out hunting for water fowl or deer. To stalk the quarry, and if you are lucky to shoot and kill.…

U S. will propose a law to limit the kinds of “trophies” hunters can take back with them from other nations. Listen HERE to my conversation with U.S. Congressman (5th District U.S. House of Representatives) Mike Quigley on Steve Dale’s Pet World, WGN radio.

Ecotourism is the way to go if you REALLY want to save animals, not hunting them. I speak with Ged Caddick of Terra Incognita Ecotours. Listen HERE to my fascinating conversation on WGN Radio with Ged. I mention that even Illinois public officials were outraged when Cecil the lion was killed, and some of those…

In Illinois bobcat hunting was recently legalized. In California, it just became illegal. Even public officials who support bobcat hunting were outraged when Cecil the lion was killed in Africa. I maintain there is no difference. We don’t have lion in America. Mountain lion are protected (the related Florida panther is endangered). Lynx and bobcat…

In a previous post, I asked – what’s the difference between killing the great African King of the jungle to killing the Illinois King of the jungle? [placegallery]

How can hunting bobcat in Illinois even be considered? Gradually, the cats are making some sort of comeback….but we’re hardly overwhelmed with them, they’re not a “nuisance animal.” In fact, the reclusive cats are rarely seen. Yet, somehow, hunting these cats will now be allowed in Illinois. Governor Rauner signed the bill into law, despite…
