Save Oregon's Cougars

Stop Oregon Cougar Extermination

Target:
Marcia Denison, Executive Director, Pacific Rainforest Wildlife Guardians
Oregon Fish and Wildlife have begun exterminating nearly half of Oregon's Cougars. They plan to kill 2,500 of them including kittens and their mothers.  This violates Oregons laws and Constitution, and was voted down by the state legislature but they don't care.  Please tell Governor Kulongoski to stop them, firing and fining all involved in the massacure of our wildlife, Oregon's proud Mountain Lions.  Please appoint wildlife friendly commisioners who represent Oregionians who appreciate wildlife, not just hunters.

Dear Governor Ted Kulongoski,    You must stop your Fish and Wildlife Department from exterminating Oregon's Cougars.  It violates many laws, Oregon's Constitution and public trust to exterminate our wildlife. Our Cougars are very highly valued by most of us.  They belong to everyone, entrusted to the State to manage wisely for future generations to enjoy. Respect the voters and our majestic Mountain Lions. Please fire and charge all involved with the crimes they are committing. Thank you.

I may not live in Oregon however, it is wrong to kill these animals for no important reason that I can see. Even Oregon farmers & ranchers are against this.The Fish & Wildlife Dept. of Oregon should listen to the people of their state and honor their request to stop this senseless killing.

If you allow your own constitutions to be undermined like this they will become meaning less. Extermination is irreversible damage, do not let it happen.
