Help Implement the Bobcat Protection Act

In 2013, California passed The Bobcat Protection Act to ban all commercial and recreational trapping of bobcats. This act has never been enforced because of pressure from the trapping industry. On April 9, the Department of Fish & Wildlife will hold a meeting in Santa Rosa, California, to discuss whether or not enforcement measures should be enacted.

Take action now. Send an email to the California Fish & Game Commission at fgc@fgc.ca.gov, asking them to implement the ban on bobcat trapping. Reference agenda item #29. Comments are due by April 3, 2015.
