ANiMAL PETiTiONS CORNER by Alicia of WoodsEdge

1. Stop Brutal Coyote Killing Contest

Animal advocates are speaking out against the upcoming "Coyote Drive 2013" scheduled for early this February in Modoc County, California and are asking the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission) to put a stop to it. Not only is any sort of killing contest indefensible, but this one also threatens the state's lone gray wolf, OR-7, who is known to roam in the area. 

Please sign Project Coyote's petition opposing California's sanctioning the coyote drive contest, and any other type of killing contest.

2. Stop Squirrel Killing Spree in New York

The fire department in Holley, NY is sponsoring its seventh annual "Squirrel Slam" on February 16, with prizes for the largest squirrels killed, who will likely be pregnant females. Not only will this be a cruel bloodbath, but this year's contest includes a youth category, which will encourage children to kill animals for fun. 

Please sign In Defense of Animals' petition  asking local officials not to sponsor events that glorify cruelty to animals.

3. Help Gray Wolves Keep Endangered Species Act Protection

Soon the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will propose removing protections for gray wolves across the country, even in areas that are critical to their continued survival. 

Please send a letter to your representative asking them to stop the USFWS from removing Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves.
