Tell Gov. Rauner to Protect Bobcats

Dear Friend,

Ignoring sound science and strong opposition, the Illinois legislature disappointingly passed legislation that will open an assault against Illinois’ still-recovering bobcat population.

Nobody hunts bobcats for their meat -- this bill was nothing more than a nod to special interests who want to trap and shoot bobcats for their fur. But the fight’s not over yet.

The bill now goes to Gov. Rauner’s desk, and we have one last chance to keep bobcats protected. Please make a brief, polite call to Gov. Rauner at 312-814-2121 and ask him to veto H.B. 352. .
