Congressional Democrats are targeting hunting rights 

Published June 11, 2024 12:31pm ET



Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) and 16 co-sponsors, including unsurprising names such as radical leftist Reps. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Katie Porter (D-CA), have introduced legislation that would ban predator hunting contests. If successful, the bill would ban all tournaments in which hunters receive cash prizes or other incentives for their kills.

“America’s wildlife play a special role in the natural environment and in a healthy ecosystem,” Cohen said. “Killing apex predators and other targets for what some deem ‘sport’ is both cruel and unnecessary. These contests serve no legitimate wildlife-management purpose and ending them is the right thing to do.”
