Foxes, bobcats and others are being slaughtered for cash prizes!

[Fight back against wildlife killing contests now!]( [Humane Society Legislative Fund]( [Pile of foxes killed during a killing contest.]( [Help end wildlife killing contests and senseless cruelty!]( [Donate Now]( Friend, In wildlife killing contests, the massacre of animals is the only goal—the more lives destroyed, the better for the contestants. First, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and other native wildlife are lured into gun range using electric distress signals that mimic the cries of their young. Then, when the animals emerge from the safety of their hiding places, they’re shot, often with high-powered weapons fitted with night vision and thermal imaging scopes that tear through their bodies. Finally, the animals’ corpses are weighed and measured and prizes are given out for everything from “largest female” to “biggest ears”—and then their lifeless bodies are simply discarded. That is the disgusting reality of wildlife killing contests, which reward contestants for killing the most or the biggest or even the smallest animals. Participants in wildlife killing contests are literally competing in a game for cash, prizes and bragging rights. And there is no excuse for it. [Donate $20 now and your contribution will help us advocate for policies at every level to save animals’ lives and protect them from suffering.]( [Donate Now]( Every year, killing contests claim the lives of foxes, coyotes, bobcats, rabbits and other native wildlife. The “winners” of these events get cash, guns, champion belt buckles and bragging rights for the killing. Shockingly, some see wildlife killing contests as “family entertainment,” meaning children are witnessing, or even participating in, the mass slaughter of animals and walking among the corpses. If we don’t take strong and swift action to end these heinous events, the cycle of cruelty will continue.
