Tell Governor Brown to Save Bobcats

Let us put an end to the killing of Bobcats. Why are they being killed you ask? For their fur. This absolutely disgusts me. If people where killing people to "wear" their skin, everyone would think this person was mentally ill. So what is the difference? Why is it okay for humans to kill animals for their body parts.

Let's get together and put an end to this. SIGN HERE

Overview of petition:
Currently, trappers can kill unlimited numbers of bobcats in California between November and January -- all for the commercial fur trade, where beautiful bobcat fur gets snatched up in places like China and Russia. Bobcat trapping is even legal along the borders of national parks and other protected areas.



This commercial trapping is not only inhumane; it also hurts California's beautiful and ecologically important wild places.



But there's hope for our bobcats: Assembly Bill 1213, known as the Bobcat Protection Act of 2013, would limit commercial trapping of bobcats in California. It includes an immediate prohibition of bobcat trapping around Joshua Tree National Park and directs the California Fish and Game Commission to institute further protections.

A.B. 1213 has already passed the California legislature -- it's up to Governor Brown's to sign this bill into law. 

Please take action now and call on the governor to protect California's bobcats and sign A.B. 1213
