The Department of Natural Resources believes someone is intentionally poising dogs and wildlife in northern Wisconsin. Three pet dogs and several animals have died in recent months in Bayfield, Marinette and Florence counties. One of the dogs ate what looked like hamburger wrapped around fly bait and died less than a half hour later. The D-N-R thinks someone might be targeting something such as coyotes or wolves. People walking dogs are reminded to keep their pets on a leash and on roadways. Lab testing is being done to determine what the poison is. Anyone with information is asked to call the Wisconsin D-N-R hotline.
