Montana: Say NO to Bobcat Fur Farm!
A North Dakota couple applied to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks for a permit to move their bobcat fur farm to Roy, Montana. The farm would exist solely to raise bobcats to be killed for use in the fur industry.
To make their decision, the department is considering the farm's impact on vegetation, water and air quality and aesthetics. Currently, they believe the farm's impacts on the above are minor. But why shouldn't they consider the ethical aspects of such a farm? These are living animals that will be brutally killed to serve no other purpose than vanity. The presence of the farm will disturb residents and bring a gloomy atmosphere to Roy.
Please sign the petition to urge the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks to reject the couple's proposal to start a bobcat fur farm in the state.
We, the undersigned, are concerned with your consideration of a North Dakota couple's application for a permit to move their bobcat fur farm to Roy, Montana. As you know, the farm would exist solely to raise bobcats to be killed for use in the fur industry.
We understand that you believe the farm's impacts on vegetation, water and air quality and aesthetics are minor. But we believe it is important to consider the ethical aspects of such a farm. These are living animals that will be brutally killed to serve no other purpose than vanity. The presence of the farm will disturb residents and bring a gloomy atmosphere to Roy.
We respectfully urge you to reject the couple's proposal to start a bobcat fur farm in your state. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our petition.
