<p>Unfortunately this legislation has passed the U. S. House of Representatives and now is before the U. S. Senate for consideration. It is now known as S. 659, the "Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act of 2016". This legislation now will make a mockery of the purposes for which our wildlife refuges were founded--to give complete sanctuary to the animals residing within them--that means no killing or harm by humans to take place within the refuge.

<p>Unfortunately this legislation has passed the U. S. House of Representatives and now is before the U. S. Senate for consideration. It is now known as S. 659, the "Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act of 2016". This legislation now will make a mockery of the purposes for which our wildlife refuges were founded--to give complete sanctuary to the animals residing within them--that means no killing or harm by humans to take place within the refuge. It also degrades one the word in the official title of the act, "sportsman" as any true sportsman would never injure or kill his opponent always giving a chance to come back and win.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This legislation will spell GENOCIDE for millions of our wildlife. It will make our national parks including the refuges unsafe for either animal or human.</p>
<p></p>
<p>These so called sportsmen need to learn one fact and that fact is they have no exclusive says as how our wildlife will be treated. By precedent and actual law the wildlife belong to ALL the people, not just one grouip or individual. Even our Supreme Court ruled that hunting is a "NON-essential right"</p>
<p></p>
<p>It is time for the public who has more non hunters, non-trappers and non-fishermen than hunters, trappers and fishermen to demand a voice in how our wildlife should be treated. This can be a beginning in making sure our voices are loudly heard. Therefore, please write, fax, e-mail your two U. S. Senators to demand they vote against this unconscionable and EXTREMELY INHUMANE BILL. You can find out who your two U. S. Senators are contacting the U. S. Senate website which can be accomplished by clicking on the following link: <a href="http://www.senate.gov/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.senate.gov/index.htm</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Please get everyone you know who truly cares about the humane treatment of our wildlife to call and call NOW! </p>
