Contests
can unite communities while adding beauty to the world.
Think pie-baking, vegetable-growing, that sort of thing.
But wildlife killing contests promote pure
suffering and mass death.
New
York has banned them, but 40 states still allow them.
Help us urge New
Jersey to follow suit.
In
these contests, hunters are rewarded for killing
animals, resulting in terrible suffering. Mama coyotes
are killed, leaving their pups to starve or face
predators. Foxes and bobcats are ruthlessly hunted down.
Not only are they cruel; these contests disrupt
ecosystems and harm wildlife populations.
For
the sake of all wild animals, let's ban wildlife killing
contests in every US state. New Jersey's legislators
have approved a bill to do just that, but it hasn't
become law yet. Sign the petition
urging lawmakers to protect New Jersey's precious
wildlife!
