For decades, USDA Wildlife Services (“Wildlife Services”) government agents trapped, shot, and killed hundreds of bears, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions and other wildlife in Mendocino – and inadvertently killed non-target species, including imperiled wildlife and beloved pets, in the process. The County used taxpayer dollars to pay for their lethal wildlife management program, often on behalf of commercial agricultural interests.

Thanks to you, legislation to ban the trophy hunting of bobcats (AB 1254); the use of deadly rodenticides (AB 1788); and the selling, giving or manufacturing of new fur products (AB 44) in California is moving through the state legislature. These bills – which would end the cruel and senseless killing of wildlife – are now up for a hearing in two senate committees.

Exciting news: thanks to your support, AB 273, the bill to ban all commercial and recreational trapping of fur-bearing and nongame mammals, including coyotes and foxes, is up for a vote in the State Senate. Passage in the Senate is the last step to ban this cruel and senseless practice in California before it goes to the governor’s desk for signature. You helped us get a ban imposed on commercial and recreational bobcat trapping in California in 2015—now let’s extend that ban to the other animals who suffer as a result of the fur trade.

Today, my father Dr. Michael W. Fox is traveling to Brainerd, Minnesota, to join hundreds of other wolf advocates to testify on behalf of Project Coyote before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in opposition to the Trump Administration’s proposal to strip all remaining federal protections for wolves across the lower 48 states (except for Mexican wolves in the Southwest). As a veterinarian, canid ethologist, bioethicist and author of more than 40 books – including The Soul of the Wolf – my father will speak to the many values of wolves.

Thanks to your support, we are so close to banning cruel and ecologically destructive coyote killing contests in Oregon.
