Rally Against Mass Killing of Tule Elk
Saturday, April 10, 2021 -11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Bear Valley Visitor Center, 1 Bear Valley Visitor Center Access Road, Point Reyes Station, CA
From In Defense of Animals, TreeSpirit Project:
“In Defense of Animals, TreeSpirit Project and ForELK are hosting a rally on Saturday, April 10 to highlight the deadly mismanagement of Point Reyes National Seashore.
“The National Park Service (NPS) announced that 152 Tule elk died in 2020, one in three elk inside a ‘Preserve.’
“Activists raised the alarm about the huge number of elk dying during the drought, but the NPS repeatedly failed to acknowledge the problem or enact its emergency plan. When activists delivered water to the elk, the NPS immediately dumped it.
“The Tule elk at this Preserve are precious since they are the largest remaining population of their species in the world. However, they are prevented from reaching water and forage in California’s drought season since they are trapped behind an 8-foot fence which stretches for miles across the peninsula.
“The fence preserves resources for private ranchers. Over 100 more of these rare native elk are expected to die this year if the NPS is allowed to enact its disastrous and controversial management plan.
“Fenced elk will continue to die from drought and elk in two other free-ranging herds will be shot to benefit private, profit-driven ranchers renting land at below-market rates in this public national park unit.
