HELP US FIGHT TO SAVE UTAH’S MOUNTAIN LIONS

Early this year, Utah passed a law that allows anyone with a basic hunting license to hunt or trap cougars year-round. Utah’s cougar population was already hunted far too heavily—more than any other state—and this new law will result in even more dead cougars because it allows the use of formerly prohibited traps (including neck snares) and doubles the length of the season to year-round.

We have a good chance of showing the court that this law violates a provision in the Utah State Constitution that requires reasonable regulations to conserve wildlife species, but we need your help to do it.

Your tax-free donation will help us do the following:

Finance court fees and attorney costs
Educate the public on the ecological importance of cougars
Educate the public on safety in cougar habitat

Western Wildlife Conservancy is a non-profit wildlife conservation organization founded in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1997. We work to protect and conserve native wildlife species – especially large carnivores such as bears, cougars, and wolves – and to protect the habitats they need to survive. Please consider making a charitable donation to support these efforts.
