City of Lakewood: Speak Up to Stop Cruel Coyote Killing!

PETA has learned that the City of Lakewood in California is planning to hire a contractor to kill coyotes on the grounds of the Lakewood Equestrian Center by shooting them with a high-powered air rifle.

This method can maim coyotes and cause them to die slowly and painfully. Many cities in Southern California and throughout the U.S. have created resoundingly successful coyote-management plans using nonlethal practices, and they have significantly decreased human-coyote conflicts.

Please contact the city and ask it to put a stop to the plan to use cruel and ineffective lethal methods that would result in immense suffering and terror.
