🧵 Tammy Baldwin's Wolf hunt bill in Wisconsin is pandering towards sadists like those in the photo below, gleefully watching hounds maul a baby bear. @SenatorBaldwin must believe she can win their votes. But none of those goons will elect a blue female. Not one. /1 Tammy is literally throwing our wolves to the dogs to court these monsters.

Here's the thing; unlike bears and cougars, wolves cannot climb trees. When packs of dogs aided by human killers, finally bring wolves to bay, a fight inevitably ensues, with casualties on both sides./2

A few months ago, I lost quite a few friends over my contention that tracking collars were being abused to the detriment of #YellowstoneParkWolves. People called me a liar when I said the telemetry was being leaked, adding to the issue of habituated wolves. Now, @outsidemagazine has outed the Wolf Project for doing exactly what I said. This is an abuse of wildlife. It has made these most visible wolves on earth vulnerable to the killers waiting outside an invisible boundary beyond the park. All animal lovers should be outraged!

🐺@fidogsbark this is a review of your collar by a former TechCrunch writer who’s covered hundreds of apps.

I’ve been using the Fi collar for months on IOS. It has one fatal flaw. 2/It doesn’t provide tracking information when I’m likely to need it most.

Here’s the scenario and the failure:

Backcountry camping. No cell service. Dog and I left home together and Fi confirmed this with a notification.

No service at the trailhead or anywhere on route.
