Action Alert ~ WA Residents: Help Pass Proposed Rule to Ban Wildlife Killing Contests!

The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) has proposed a rule to ban wildlife killing contests statewide for certain species that don’t have a bag limit, including coyotes, bobcats, crows, foxes, and raccoons. WDFW has opened a public comment period that includes opportunities for submission of written comments as well as attending and testifying at the July 30-31 – August 1 Commission webinar. Final action by the Fish & Wildlife Commission—which sets policy for WDFW—is expected during their August 21 webinar.

Action Alert ~ Help Ensure the Survival of the Mexican Gray Wolf!

As explained in our recent Notes from the Field, the Mexican gray wolf is the most endangered gray wolf in North America. It is the southernmost subspecies of gray wolf and formerly ranged throughout the U.S. Southwest and northern Mexico. Like other gray wolves in the lower 48 U.S. states, it was persecuted to near extinction by the mid-1900s. In 1976, the Mexican gray wolf was placed on the list of endangered species under the Endangered Species Act.

Action Alert ~ Help End Wildlife Killing Contests in Maryland!

Maryland residents, we need your help TODAY to pass a bill that would prohibit cruel and senseless wildlife killing contests in Maryland. During these barbaric events, which typically last 1 or 2 days, participants compete to kill wildlife — including foxes, coyotes, and raccoons — for prizes and entertainment. At the recent Predator Hunters of Maryland contest in Unionville, participants killed roughly 200 animals. And the winning team alone killed 27 foxes at the Southern Maryland Predator Hunt in Waldorf.
