Dear Governor Cuomo,
As I live in the Finger Lakes I have witnessed this debacle on a number of occasions. While I support hunting for food, this acticity is wanton killing and I suggest to you that participation may also be a sign of mental instability. I wondered if I was alone in my thoughts and created this petition.
I created this in an international forum as I wanted you to see how allowing this activity could gretaly affect the tourism upon which NY is so dependent. The world community joins our fellow New Yorkers in condemning killing for no reason. I hope you change the fish and game regulations accordingly.
Thank you,
Dr John Gregoire (CDR, USN (ret)

I'll be forced to close this soon. WE very much need more signatures. PLEASE ask your friends, relatives and whomever to sign. Here's a good article about the horrible trend. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/03/killing-coyotes-bobcats-and-foxes-fun-and-profit

Friends, The first of these hunts is upon us and we do not have sufficient signatures to sway the Governor (we have 1188). PLEASE ask your significant others and friends to sign. We've been promised help by a national wolf protection group that has failed to materialize. Thanks so much, I have done but a few of these and so much appreciate your help and efforts. john
