Correcting the Record: Gov. Walker is NOT trying to kill your puppies (Dane101)

Some people have taken issue with a provision in Governor Scott Walker?s budget proposal that allows pounds to transfer stray dogs to University system research facilities. The problem with turning this into a “Gov. Walker hates dogs” story is that it simply isn?t true. The statute currently exists in Wisconsin, Walker is simply making a small amendment to the wording due to the proposal to break the University of Wisconsin-Madison off from the rest of the University system.
