The Anti-Trapping Bill (HB 426) and the Ban Coyote Contest Bill (SB 253) will both be heard in the House Agriculture, Water, & Wildlife committee this Friday 2/27/2015 (8am - Room 307). If you can make it to Santa Fe for the committee please do so, the animal rights folks will, no doubt, be there in full force!
The trapping bill would effectively end trapping on all public lands in NM. The coyote contest bill would put an end to all large scale, cost effective management of coyotes. Please contact the below committee members and tell them to oppose BOTH bills.
If you are a non-resident member of NMCOG please feel free to also contact the NM Legislators. We need all of the help we can get to kill these two anti-hunting pieces of legislation.
