The Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners will meet June 27th, in Lovelock, to establish trapping regulations for bobcats for the next two years. Unfortunately, Nevada wildlife officials have resisted ending trapping “season” to protect this fragile animal.  State data suggests Nevada’s bobcat population faces possible collapse from over-trapping. Trapping is also incredibly cruel and should be banned altogether.
 
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
*Attend the Saturday, June 27 Commission hearing in Lovelock. Urge wildlife officials to ban trapping of bobcats and all other furbearing animals.

Hearing location:
Lovelock Community Center, 820 6th St., Lovelock, Nevada
Time for public comment: 8:30 AM

*If you can’t attend the hearing, contact the Nevada wildlife commissioners. Note, the Commission does not have one central email address so you will have to cc all the commissioners at the addresses below. You can also call the Commission chair, Gerald Lent, at (775) 852-4636.
