California is setting the trend for the nation on the wildlife protection front with a unanimous vote (14-0) by the Los Angeles City Council today in support of an ordinance that bans snares and other body-gripping traps citywide!
Please join Project Coyote in calling on the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CADFW) to prohibit predator killing contests statewide and to develop comprehensive regulations and policies to reform and modernize predator management in California.
We need your help to prohibit wildlife killing contests in California!

Penning, the practice of confining coyotes and foxes in fenced enclosures and exposing them to mauling by packs of dogs for “sport” and “entertainment,” is a cruel and vicious practice that is, unfortunately, prevalent in states like Virginia. Foxes and coyotes suffer horribly and die in the pens- literally torn apart.
Please join Project Coyote to take immediate action to stop a brutal coyote killing contest scheduled for January 18-19th in Crane, Oregon.
