LAUNCHED and Growing!
Saving one animal won't change the world,
but it will sure change the world for that one animal...
A new Wildlife Coalition. A grassroots coalition for reform of state wildlife management system. Long overdue. In the words of Bill Moyers: “What is right and good does not come naturally. You must stand up and fight as if the cause depends on you – because it does”.
It is not an anti-hunting campaign. Wildlife enthusiasts include many, and all but a few oppose blood sports that defy the sportsmen's own code of ethics, such as "Fair Chase" and "Quick, clean kill". These "sports" defy state animal cruelty laws, cause rampant abuse and even allow consumer fraud upon the public, such as with "nuisance" wildlife control.
Cruelty, Blood-sports and Torture have NOTHING to do
with the 2nd Amendment!!
There is no longer any debate. “Hard” science has proven that all mammals share the neurological emotion based biology. The skunk, raccoon, coyote, etc in our backyards feel every bit the pain, suffering, joy, relief and even affection that our cats, dogs, horses, etc, can and do. We mammals are wired the same. The question is now: What will humans do with this knowledge? What are we waiting for? Why aren't laws protecting all wildlife and all stakeholders from fraud and excessive abuse?
Must we protect the hunting & trapping industry and their declining revenue to the point that we ignore suffering across the board for ALL wild animals; That equal stakeholders are left on the sidelines with no representation? We don’t have to, we must have responsible hunting AND laws protecting wild animals from wanton, irresponsible, unregulated abuse... while allowing and properly respecting the many individuals who help urban wildlife.
NO NATIVE SPECIES should ever be banned from allowing qualified Citizens to provide rescue and rehabilitation! This is not only inhumane management of publicly shared animals, but such bans have been proven to actually BE the public health risk intended to avoid.
The National Urban Wildlife Coalition is a great idea. I support their mission 100% and am proud to be part of it.
