Humane Society Of The United States Wants To Ban Indiana Hunting Contests
STATEWIDE The Humane Society of the United States wants to ban hunting contests in Indiana after dozens of coyotes were killed during a contest in Warren County.
Undercover investigators from the Humane Society attended the contest weigh-in at the Williamsport Fire Department. More than a dozen teams competed in categories for killing the most coyotes, the heaviest coyote and the smallest coyote. Samantha Morton, Indiana State Director for the Humane Society, says approximately 60 coyotes were shot for the contest.
According to the Humane Society’s report, coyotes are native to Indiana, and they provide vital balance to the natural ecosystem.
