California Residents: New Action Needed to Protect Bobcats from Trophy Hunters!

California Residents: New Action Needed to Protect Bobcats from Trophy Hunters!

This alert is no longer active, but here for reference. Animals still need your help.

Thanks to your help, California bobcats have a fighting chance against trophy hunters! California’s bill to ban bobcat hunting passed through the State Assembly and is now heading to the Senate. Please take action today to ensure AB 1254 passes the upcoming full Senate vote!

Assembly Bill 1254, sponsored by Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-54) would make it unlawful to hunt, trap or otherwise “take” a bobcat except in specified circumstances including depredation permits.  Your support will protect thousands of these shy, solitary creatures from being ruthlessly killed by trophy hunters each year!

In the past decade, a small number of trophy hunters killed over 10,000 California bobcats. Sportsmen’s Alliance, Calguns.net, SCHOutdoors.com, and the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action are lobbying against AB 1254 to protect their bloodthirsty interests.

Bobcats are California natives who play an essential role in the state’s ecosystems. Sadly, they often become victims of trophy hunting, car collisions, and rodenticide poisons, and also face habitat loss and wildfires, which all contribute to declining population numbers.
