What do we do when we’ve exhausted all legal tactics of stopping wildlife killing, but the killing continues?

This panel will feature seasoned direct action activists who have utilized non-violent direct action as a tactic to interfere with harassment or targeted killing of wildlife. We will cover topics like how to use your own body as a form of protest to stop killing or to bring attention to the issue, and how to participate in ongoing efforts to sabotage planned wildlife hunts.
