New
York legislators passed an incredible bill
that would finally ban wildlife killing contests in the
state. These heartbreaking, disturbing tournaments
nicknamed "killing contests" are just what you'd expect
-- competitions to see which hunter is the
most effective at spilling blood and butchering the
largest number of animals possible. The NY
state ban is a big win for animal rights, but in states
like Wisconsin, these horrific contests are still
legal.
Sign now to tell the
Wisconsin state legislature to outlaw wildlife killing
contests!
"Killing
contests" are events where participants try to kill the
most, largest, or smallest of specific wildlife species
for cash and prizes. Many wildlife contests are focused
on killing coyotes, foxes, squirrels, and raccoons.
Stories and images from these events are
straight out of a horror film: one
investigator described tiny wildlife being gunned down
with AR-15s as a messy scene of "brains blown out or
their guts hanging out." It is
time that Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and the
Wisconsin State Legislature end these blood-soaked
wildlife killing contests forever! Sign the petition if you
agree!
