In a shocking display of allegiance to the beef and dairy industries, the National Park Service (NPS) is supporting a plan to kill native Tule elk and slaughter an even wider variety of domestic animals at Point Reyes National Seashore. The NPS has been co-opted by animal-abusing farmers at the expense of the very animals and habitats they are charged to protect. We only have until October 18 to save the Tule elk!

Despite overwhelming public opposition to commercial ranching in Point Reyes National Seashore, the NPS recommended a plan (Alternative B), which allows all ranchers to extend their leases and kill and “process” farmed animals on site, in addition to allowing them to add even more cows, and introduce goats, sheep and chickens to the Seashore. This plan will only exacerbate lethal conflicts between ranchers and Tule elk, in addition to other wild animals like bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions. It also allows for the growth of other private, for-profit businesses.

Allowing slaughterhouses to operate inside our National Parks is insanity!

The NPS recommendation to kill elk and enrich ranchers, known as Alternative B, is the exact opposite of the public's wishes. The agency's own survey found 91% of 7,624 respondents supported Alternative F which would protect native Tule elk and remove cattle ranching from Point Reyes. Instead, the NPS is planning to pay ranchers to pollute our only national seashore on the West Coast at the expense of taxpayers and Tule elk, many who are already trapped and dying of thirst behind a fence purposefully erected to block their access to water.

We hosted a massive demonstration of 300 activists at a large-scale, modern dairy operating inside the Seashore to oppose the Tule elk death sentence.

Without mass urgent action, the Point Reyes National Seashore will become the latest of our national parks to be trashed in the name of private profit.

We must stop this wild animal slaughter before NPS Regional Director Woody Smeck signs this disastrous plan!
