Oregon could be the next state to ban coyote killing contests — cruel and gruesome events in which competitors kill as many coyotes as possible during a specified time period for cash and other prizes.
A proposed petition now being considered would prohibit persons from conducting or participating in events that have the goal of killing coyotes for cash or prizes.
You can help end this cruelty by urging the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commissioners to prioritize this issue and to support the proposed rule. Remember, personalizing your message can help it stand out.
