Bill to end the wildlife killing contests reaches Governor Hochul's desk. Will the Governor sign it or veto it?
Calls are needed now by all New Yorkers who oppose this cruel and unnecessary activity to urge her to sign this bill (S4099) into law. The lives of thousands of animals depend on this law which will end the killing contests.
Please contact her office at (518) 474-8390. Or email at this link.
This bill will make it unlawful “for any person to organize, sponsor, conduct, promote, or participate in any contest, competition, tournament or derby where the objective of such contest or competition is to take (kill) wildlife.”
It will end the gratuitous, wanton, and wasteful slaughter --- for entertainment of participants --- of various wildlife – coyotes, foxes, bobcats, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, woodchucks, and others. These contests serve no ecological purpose.
When Governor Hochul signs the bill into law, New York will join eight other states in outlawing this blatant, indefensible form of animal cruelty.
Thank you for your help!!
