Protect wildlife from trophy hunting

The senseless killing of an animal is always a tragedy, but even more so when that death is for nothing more than a head, hide, or body part for display. Trophy hunting is a cruel and unnecessary practice. In the U.S. alone, trophy hunters kill more than 100,000 native carnivores every year—including bears, wolves, mountain lions, and bobcats.

Killing ecologically critical native carnivores for a mere trophy or for their fur is not acceptable. We can stop this cruelty by supporting policy reform in the states where these species are targeted.

ADD YOUR NAME

There is no scientifically sound reason to trophy hunt wild cats, wolves and bears. They’re critical for their ecosystems and even increase biological diversity. We support a ban on trophy hunting of these animals, who are worth far more to us alive and thriving in the wild than as a trophy in someone’s living room.
