Victory for Wildlife in Maryland!

We want to share the fabulous news that Maryland has become the eighth state to ban Wildlife Killing Contests, joining Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Vermont, and Washington. 

Last Friday, Governor Larry Hogan allowed HB 293/SB 200—which passed the state legislature in April—to become law.

Thanks to all of our Maryland supporters who took action on this bill and to our coalition partners who collaborated in enabling this momentous achievement for wildlife.

Thanks also to you—and all of our supporters—for making our work possible. Without your financial support, we could not achieve so much for the wild ones who have no voice.

In celebration of all of the wild animals whose lives will be spared from such brutality,
