Description: WOLVES, bobcats, coyotes, crows, foxes, marmots, mountain lions, prairie dogs, rabbits, and raccoons—perish every year in killing contests across the USA. In these barbaric events, contestants win prizes based on certain criteria, such as killing the greatest number or the largest of the targeted species. Most sportsmen and sportswomen oppose wildlife killing contests. Countless animals are injured or orphaned during these events. The use of lures and distress calls—devices that mimic the sounds of prey or even the cries of young animals in distress—to attract target animals into shooting range for an easy kill removes any notion of the fundamental hunting ethic of “fair chase.” Most of the animals killed in these contests are not used for their meat—they are merely seen as a life to kill and their carcasses are dumped after the events. A 2018 undercover investigation in New Jersey and New York by the Humane Society of the United States showed wildlife killing contest participants piling up coyotes and foxes they had killed to be judged for prizes, and laughing and posing for photos in front of the dead animals. HSUS’s 2018 undercover investigation of a coyote killing contest in Oregon and 2020 investigations in Maryland and New York showed similar grisly images. In many contests, young children are encouraged to participate, and hunting equipment and high-powered rifles—including AR-15s—are awarded as raffle prizes.
