Illinois Residents: Help ban wildlife killing contests!
We’re closer than ever before to our goal of banning wildlife killing contests (WKCs) in Illinois. On May 15, the Illinois House passed HB2900 (Rep. Moeller), which would prohibit WKCs statewide, by a 62-45 vote. That means the bill must now pass the Senate!
Time ran out during the regular legislative session, but we have another opportunity during veto session in November to pass this bill in the Senate. We are so close to banning these egregious contests, but your Senators need to hear from you TODAY.
