Speak for Wolves
On September 15th, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission voted (5-0) to ban wildlife killing contests across the state! Thanks to the vigilance of wildlife advocates, Oregon has become the ninth US State to ban these unethical and unscientific contests.
Thank you to everyone who spoke up on behalf of Oregon’s carnivores! Read more about this landmark victory here!
