                        This Animal-Killing Contest Rewards People who Gun 
Down Small, Innocent Animals

                        "Killing contests" are heartbreaking, disturbing 
tournaments in which hunters compete to see who is "best" at spilling the 
most amount of blood and butchering the most animals possible. The Eastern 
U.S. Predator Calling Championship in Virginia is one such grisly event. 
According to several undercover investigations by the Humane Society of the 
United States, some competitors even wield AR-15 guns as they hunt their 
innocent, defenseless prey. One investigator said it left critters' "brains 
blown out or their guts hanging out."



                        The Championship contest awards teams prizes for 
killing the smallest, heaviest, or most number of animals in any given 
species category. Those prizes include straight-up trophies, belt buckles, 
and even $25,600 for "winners." In 2022's contest, 127 teams competed, 
butchering a total of around 590 coyotes and dozens of foxes. The littlest 
fox slaughtered during the tournament was a slight 6.8 pounds, which is the 
size of a very small house cat or little dog. This sadistic violence serves 
no real purpose, other than bringing sadistic glee in overpowering a smaller 
animal and causing its sad, violent death. Virginia legislators were 
considering banning these mass-killing "games," but chose not to. They must 
reconsider that move. Sign the petition to demand Virginia state lawmakers 
pass a bill to prohibit stomach-churning "killing contests!"
