Ending Wildlife
Killing Contests
in New Jersey
WHAT ARE WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS?
Cruel, Inhumane, and Ecologically Destructive
OUR WORK TO END WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS
New Jersey
Every year, cruel and senseless wildlife killing contests are held throughout New Jersey. These contests, such as the Parlin Buck Club’s Annual 24-Hour Predator Killing Contest in Barnegat, New Jersey, fail science-based wildlife management principles, promote the indiscriminate killing of wildlife, and award prizes to the individuals who kill the most, largest or even smallest animals. We have an opportunity to ban killing contests in New Jersey this legislative session but we need your help. Assemblyman Reginald Atkins, Assemblywoman Carol Murphy, and Senator Nilsa Cruz-Perez introduced S2754/A1142 to prohibit contests across the state.
