There will be no loopholes in this, said Suder, who co-sponsored the amendment. The change would have to pass two consecutive legislatures and be approved in a statewide referendum to be added to the constitution. Rep. Jerry Petrowski, R-Marathon, said the change is very popular among area residents. People around the state have vocally supported this legislation, Petrowski said. Supporters, who include Attorney General Jim Doyle, say constitutional protection is necessary because laws protecting hunting are too vulnerable to politics and social change.
Critics say the amendment is unnecessary.
