Hello Friends of Project Coyote,

Good news! Yesterday the Senate voted in support of SB 1221 (bill to ban the use of hounds to hunt bear and bobcat) on a 22-13 concurrence vote. And even more good news: the Senate also passed SB 1480 (bill to restrict cruel wildlife trapping and killing methods and better regulate wildlife control operators).


If Govenor Brown signs the bills, hounds no longer will be treeing black bears

THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD! We would not have come this far without so many Californians speaking out in support of these bills.

But it's not over! We still need Governor Jerry Brown to sign both bills before they become law. Please take a moment to contact Brown and urge his support for both
bills:


fAIR CHASE THIS IS NOT; HOUNDS TIRE BOBCAT FOR EASY KILL BY HUNTER

To email go to the Governor's site:

(http://gov.ca.gov/home.php) Select "contact" and then scroll through "please choose your subject" pull down to find SB 1221 and SB 1480. You must submit two separate forms for both bills. You can also call/fax Brown:
Phone: (916) 445-2841
Fax: (916) 558-3160
