Help Stop Unnecessary Lethal Predator Control Program

Please call your state senator today and urge them to oppose House Bill 3167 – which would fund the killing of Oregon wildlife. 

The Oregon Legislature is about to wrap up its session and we are working hard to keep a bad bill from becoming law. House Bill 3167 would continue a harmful program of so-called “predator damage control districts.” These special government districts help fund federal “Wildlife Services” to kill wildlife deemed a threat to private property. Over a twelve month period from July 2019 through June 2020, Wildlife Services – a notoriously inhumane program inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture – killed 210 black bears, 2,147 coyotes and 92 mountain lions, using methods including neck and leg snares, cages and foothold traps, and guns shot from airplanes and helicopters.

Please ask your state senator to oppose House Bill 3167 and urge them to let Senator Wagner know they oppose the bill. If Rob Wagner is your senator, please ask him directly to keep the bill from moving forward.
