*This month, the Germantown Sportsmen’s Association in New York has planned
a squirrel killing contest – the “Squirrel Scramble.” Whoever kills the
most squirrels or biggest squirrel in a day, gets a prize. Wildlife killing
contests serve no ecological or conservation purpose.

They are not ‘hunting’ and they teach children that killing as many animals as you can
for fun is perfectly okay. It is not okay. Please call immediately the
number below to protest, as the contest is this Saturday , February 27th.
If enough of us call perhaps they will feel pressured enough to suspend
this unconscionable event. Germantown Council Office and Town Supervisor
Robert Beaury at 518-537-6687 (press 2 for voicemail)*
