Leading the legal fight for animal protection
A win for wolves and coyotes!
Dear PAOV,
We just got the news -- the Ontario government is abandoning a bad plan to let hunters to gun down more wolves and coyotes!
We told you earlier this year about Ontario's attempts to weaken hunting laws so that wolves and coyotes could be shot and killed more easily. Although officials tried to justify expanding... this brutal hunt by claiming it would protect declining moose populations, the government's own research shows that moose hunting is the problem -- not predation by wolves and coyotes.
Animal Justice fought to protect wolves and coyotes by filing a formal legal submission with the government. And we weren't alone. Over the short seven-day comment period, a whopping 12,113 comments were sent in through the Environmental Registry -- most of them opposing this cruel proposal.
Thanks to the thousands of you who submitted comments and signed petitions, the government was forced to listen. It announced Monday that no additional wolves and coyotes would be killed, acknowledging widespread opposition to hunting and trapping, as well as comments that a wolf/coyote cull is not science-based and will not protect moose populations.
This victory is proof that when compassionate Canadians join together to demand our politicians treat animals with respect, we can win.
On behalf of Ontario's wolves and coyotes, thank you for all you do!
