Stop Needlessly Killing and Mounting Jackalope!

Target: Congress






Jackalope are unarguably God's most regal creatures. Which is why they've become so popular among sports hunters over the past two decades.

But according to wildlife experts, Jackalope are a species in serious decline. The combination of over-hunting and global warming (which has made mating between the native white-tailed antelope and jackrabbits rare; antelope are forced from their native habitat in the Chipanaqua Mountain Range due to heavy snows) are killing off the current population of Jackalope and threatening the potential for new Jackalope offspring.

Experts fear that the Jackalope could become extinct within the next five years if serious action is not taken. Secure a future for the Jackalope! Call on Congress to outlaw the hunting of Jackalope until the species is revived. Because all of GodÂ’s creatures deserve our protection!

Dear Congress,

We've had enough! Please do the proper work to protect the Jackalope from extinction. As a concerned constituent, I ask that you support all legislation limiting the hunting of the native Jackalope.

For the future of our children.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
We signed the “Stop Needlessly Killing and Mounting Jackalope!” petition!

Save the Jackalope! This beautiful animal must be preserved for future generations. And watch out - they can be dangerous on roads. A little jackalope popped my tire last week!

Anyone know a good hunting forum where they discuss jackalope hunting? I am an internet scouter and I need to know some good public spots in Texas. GPS coords preferred, but just general spots will suffice. Thx!

I like to make sure the jackalope suffers as much as possible when I kill it. I think the chemicals released by the body from the sheer terror he feels in his last moments really flavor the meat. I like to shoot them in the legs to disable them. Then I capture them and put them on a rack in my garage--slowly stretching them more and more until their legs pull free from their bodies. Then, I like to bleed them to death. This technique not only adds flavor, but tenderizes the meat as well. I highly recommend it.

We get em down here in FL when idiots bring em back in their carry on luggage or they stow away on big 18 wheelers. A teflon coated anti personnel super talon 230 grain 45 ACP bullet will take the vermin with a head shot. After that we just toss em in the ditch for the gators.

This beautiful animal is in grave danger, people! When I was growing up, every house had a Jackalope mounted on the wall. Now, where have they all gone to? Why, I can't remember the last time I saw a live Jackalope in my backyard. Stop the senseless slaughter of the Jackalope before they go the way of the ostrich!

Personally, I find the whole "mounting" thing totally over rated. They aren't that good at all.

I fail to understand the mindset of any human being who would kill a beautiful animal like this, just for the pleasure of having it hang on the wall. Does that make you feel like a "man"? I truly hope that the Jackalope gets the Federal protection that it so desperately needs. I would support heavy fines and imprisonment for anyone caught shooting one of these animals, or caught with one hanging on his wall!

Stop the Killing of Jackalopes! Eat Western Spotted Owl Instead. Apperently, they are rare and difficult to hunt. That means less of them should be killed, right? While everybody is distracted hunting owls, the population of precious jackalopes should recover in no time. Then we can get back to jackalope hunting as usual. STOP THE CONSUMPTION OF FACTORY FARMED BEEF! Eat vennison, it's helthier and tastes better.
