Bobcat

Bobcat trapping is a big problem in California. Last year, more than 1,800 cats were trapped and killed because of escalating demand for pelts in places like China and Russia. If nothing's done, the number will continue to grow.

In California it's still legal to trap and kill an unlimited number of bobcats between November and January. What's more, with few restrictions on where traps may be set, trappers have started lining the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park with cages, killing numerous bobcats as they travel between the national park and private land.  Protected areas don't mean much for wildlife like the bobcat -- which can travel tens of miles a day -- if they're trapped and killed the minute they step over an invisible park boundary.

It's time to put a stop to bobcat trapping in California. California's native wildlife should not be killed for commercial exploitation. If you live in California, please click on this link and sign the petition to ban bobcat trapping in the Golden State

Please take action by May 1, 2013.

Jo Unrau I would love to have the money to check this out. I'd be willing to bet that it's more than half the people in the USA!!

Jo Unrau More like 95% of the people in the US are crazy, seriously.

Crap..... didn't see that this was for California residents only. Guess I'll tweet it to help get the word out.

By the way..... Not all of us Americans are uncaring, unfeeling @$$h0le$. I'm a rescuer & an activist who works hard every single day to fight against cruelty, abuse, and neglect of all of our wonderful fellow beings. I understand & appreciate your passion, believe me.. I can't stand ignorant, self absorbed people.. but please don't stereotype. There are many of us out here that are railing hard against such atrocities, both in cyberspace and on the ground, at the grassroots level. Please remember that before you decide to direct your wrath indiscriminately toward an entire nation of people. Thank you. Love & Respect.......
