New laws in Congress may free our federal public lands from the outrageous apply of deliberately killing and maiming wolves or coyotes by working them down with snowmobiles. The Snowmobiles Aren’t Weapons Act has bipartisan help and backing from quite a few non-government organizations.
Inform your member of Congress to help the bipartisan Snowmobiles Aren’t Weapons Act.
This invoice will ban the usage of automobiles (snowmobiles or in any other case) to deliberately kill wildlife on federal lands managed by the Division of Inside. It is available in response to Wyoming’s failure to behave in response to the torture and killing of a wolf within the state1 earlier this 12 months.
You possible keep in mind the horrific incident in Wyoming the place a Wyoming cattle rancher and trophy hunter ran down a younger wolf who later got here to be referred to as Thiea, took her–in her injured however still-living state–to a bar the place he paraded her round earlier than taking pictures her to dying behind the bar. This sociopathic conduct shouldn’t be permissible wherever. However the state of Wyoming selected to guard the authorized proper to kill wildlife with snowmobiles2 in its solely official response.
If Wyoming and different states within the Northern Rockies the place “wolf whacking” (working wolves down with snowmobiles) select to not act, Congress should do what they received’t or can’t. This laws is a robust step in that route. It might criminalize “wolf whacking” on lands managed by the Division of Inside. Once more, it has bipartisan help and the backing quite a few conservation and animal welfare organizations.
Congress ought to act to forestall this and comparable anti-conservation acts of violence by passing the Snowmobiles Aren’t Weapons Act promptly–earlier than snow falls once more within the Northern Rockies and extra wolves and coyotes are senselessly slaughtered. Please ask your U.S. Consultant to help this laws.
