New York Residents: Help Ban Wildlife Killing Contests Statewide!

Contact the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee Chairs and ask them to support S4099/A2917

Every year, cruel and ecologically destructive wildlife killing contests are held throughout New York. These contests violate science-based wildlife management principles, promote the indiscriminate killing of wildlife, and award cash and other prizes to the individuals who kill the most, largest or even smallest animals. Luckily, Assemblymember Glick and Senator Kennedy introduced A2917/S4099 to prohibit these contests statewide.

We can ban killing contests in New York this legislative session but time is running out and we need your help! The bill has yet to make it out of the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee, and the chairs of the Committee need to hear from you on why this important bill must pass this session to stop these cruel and ecologically destructive contests from continuing.

Urge the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee to vote on S4099/A2917 before it’s too late!
