Wisconsin DNR

MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has released nearly two dozen elk into the Jackson County woods in an effort to grow a second herd in the state.

Wisconsin has had only one elk herd, which roams Ashland County. The DNR wants to bring in 150 Kentucky elk to bolster the northern herd and create a Jackson County herd.

Why? Are the elk being used to control some other population of flora?

Kentucky elk in Wisconsin? Won't the the other animals make fun of their accents?

The introduction of elk has been a huge success in Arkansas.

Elk have been successfully reintroduced to Pennsylvania. There is even a limited Elk hunt every year.

Creating herds implies male/female sexual reproduction. But isn’t that heteronormative of them? What about the lesbian, gay, bisexual,and transgendered elk? What about their rights and their lives????

The LGBT elk are being used by hunters as decoys. You'd be surprised at how viciously the hetero-elk respond to them. Easy pickin's while so distracted...
