Ending Wildlife Killing Contests

Join us for free premiere screenings of Project Coyote’s new exposé about wildlife killing contests – events wherein contestants win prizes and awards for killing the most or largest of a given species. Targeted animals include coyotes, foxes, wolves, bobcats, prairie dogs, crows and even rattlesnakes. Interviews with prominent social and ecological scientists, ranchers, hunters, public officials and Native Americans disprove the claims used to perpetuate these killing contests. The film also highlights a successful model of grassroots campaigning that led to California prohibiting prizes and other inducements for killing coyotes, bobcats, foxes and other wildlife as part of a contest, derby or tournament. Project Coyote Advisory Board member, actor, narrator and conservationist Peter Coyote, Project Coyote Founder and Executive Director Camilla Fox, Executive Director of the Southwest Environmental Center Kevin Bixby, and former New Mexico State Land Commissioner Ray Powell offer insights and provide context on the issue of killing contests throughout the film. Come hear about this hidden war on wildlife and learn what you can do to help ban this practice in New Mexico.

Post screening panel includes: best-selling author Dan Flores (Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History), Former New Mexico State Land Commissioner Ray Powell, Camilla Fox, Dave Parsons and Jessica Johnson from Animal Protection Voters of New Mexico.
