Only Days Left For CA Governor to Act on Bear & Bobcat Hunting Ban

SACRAMENTO, CA --(Ammoland.com)- COHA NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!

SB 1221, legislation authored by Senator Ted Lieu (D/28-Torrance) that would outlaw the use of dogs for hunting bears and bobcats in California, is on the Governor’s desk for his signature or veto.

In addition to authorizing the use of dogs for scientific research and depredation purposes, recent amendments allow the Fish and Game Commission to establish a “Hound Tag Program” which would include the requirement that each dog used to pursue any game mammal have a license tag bearing a unique identifying number, be microchipped, and place other costly and overly onerous requirements on the dog owners.

Further, the amendments provide for the Commission to charge a fee to cover the cost of the Program – in essence, establishing an unprecedented “use tax” for the use of dogs to hunt mammals.

PLEASE CALL THE GOVERNOR AND ASK HIM TO VETO SB 1221. ALSO, IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY, SEND THE GOVERNOR AN OPPOSITION LETTER. CLICK HERE FOR THE GOVERNOR’S CONTACT INFORMATION, A SAMPLE OPPOSITION LETTER, AND TALKING POINTS.
