14 DAY TRIAL // It's been decades since a wolf hunt was last organized in Michigan. Unfortunately, this sport has made a comeback. Long story short, a new wolf hunt is scheduled to begin this November 15.
Music legend Iggy Pop, who is also a Michigan native, does not approve of the state's agreeing to authorize this hunt, and has sent a letter to Governor Rick Snyder shaming him for giving the green light to this killing campaign.
“As a Michigan native and someone who has cared about animals, both wild and domestic, for as long as I can remember, I was dismayed that a bill you signed last May gave Michigan’s Natural Resources Commission the authority to decide which animals can be hunted, which resulted in the first authorized wolf hunt since wolves underwent state protection in 1965,” the musician wrote in his letter, as cited by the Humane Society of the United States.
“The senseless killing of these majestic animals for sport is a disappointment to the people of Michigan and a stain on its Government. Do the right thing by staying the hunt,” he added.
Needless to say, the Governor has not yet responded to Iggy Pop's letter.
