Cruel, Inhumane, and Ecologically Destructive
OUR WORK TO END WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS
Contests in Nevada
Nevada
Every year, cruel and senseless wildlife killing contests are held throughout Nevada. At least 15 wildlife killing contests take place each year across Nevada. In 2024, the Humane Society of the United States petitioned the Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners to prohibit these contests statewide. The Board of Wildlife Commissioners created a “Contest Committee” to further consider taking action on the issue.
