DEAR FRIENDS,

Animal Advocate Comments Needed!

Help Protect Wildlife in Virginia.

The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources Board has two crucial proposals up for public comment, and your voice matters! These proposals, while not perfect, represent a significant step forward for animal welfare. The window to submit comments in support closes on July 5th, 2024.

For the first time ever, hunting dogs trespassing on private land will be a misdemeanor offense in Virginia. This is a major victory for property owners and wildlife alike. Let's make our voices heard! Head over to the DWR website (https://dwr.virginia.gov/regulations/2024-proposals/) and submit your comment in favor of these proposals. Together, we can create a safer environment for wildlife in Virginia.

For more information about the cruelty of these events please check out SHARK's video below, Terminate this Cruel, Un-American Law!
