Project Coyote’s film KILLING GAMES ~ Wildlife In The Crosshairs has made the rounds of prestigious film festivals across the nation, and in the process has won numerous awards. Now the film is coming to Reno, NV, on November 9, as part of Wild & Scenic Film Festival On Tour!
Most Americans are shocked to learn that each year thousands of coyotes, foxes, bobcats, prairie dogs, crows, and even wolves are targeted in “wildlife killing contests” where contestants win prizes and awards for killing the most or largest of a given species. These contests, largely unmonitored by state and federal wildlife agencies, are legal throughout the United States and often occur on our public lands.
To expose this barbaric practice, Project Coyote is producing a film to raise awareness and to inspire action to end this cruel and senseless slaughter of America’s native wildlife.
