Wildlife-killing contests are exceedingly barbaric events in which participants are rewarded with cash and other prizes for the most, the largest, or even the youngest animals massacred. While these events are often publicized as a means of “wildlife-population control”—an absurd concept in itself that they fail to accomplish—they’re nothing more than bloodbaths that tear wild families apart and leave orphaned young to starve. Ten states have already banned these gruesome contests, and now Congress has reintroduced the Prohibit Wildlife Killing Contests Act (HR 8492), which, if passed, would put an end to these cruel events on all federally owned public land.
