Friend,

Wildlife killing contests normalize mass slaughter of animals by packaging it as “family fun.” In these events, killing the most animals is treated as a sick game. Participants compete to kill foxes, coyotes, bobcats and more over a set period of time and rack up their personal death toll. Families bring their children to see the piled-up corpses—and even to help with the piling—before they’re dumped without a second thought. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We’re calling on animal advocates like you to take action to protect wildlife from senseless slaughter. Will you take a moment now to make your voice heard?

It gets worse. Right now, bills are moving through Congress that could unleash mass slaughter on protected species—by stripping away their status under the Endangered Species Act. For over 50 years, the ESA has helped bring wildlife like gray wolves and grizzly bears back from the brink of extinction. But trophy hunters and predator-control agents could erase this progress and drastically erode bears and wolves’ nominal conservation gains if their protections are removed.

The attacks on vulnerable wildlife must end. We’re counting on your help to oppose these acts of extreme cruelty and prevent a dire situation for vulnerable species from getting even worse. Please, don’t wait while animals are at risk of being slaughtered: Demand action to protect wildlife now.

Thank you,
