Laws Prohibiting Cruelty to Wild Needed
Congratulations to Project Coyote and Animal Legal Defense Fund for shutting down a coyote killing contest in Oregon.
Did wildlife cruelty laws do it?
No, because there aren’t any!
According to Camilla Fox of Project Coyote, the case was cleverly won because the contest involved betting and so constituted a gambling enterprise, which is illegal and deemed a public nuisance!
