IL Ban Bobcat Pelt Sales

Ban the Sale of Bobcat Pelts in Illinois

We don't know many people in IL so every single one of you makes a huge difference.I usually try to make these things as easy as possible for our cat loving fans to do, but some states make it difficult.  Despite much opposition from people like you IL opened up bobcat hunting and trapping, so animal activists have countered with a bill to ban the sale of the pelts.If they can't profit from it, then it will reduce the number of bobcats who are tortured and killed.Please save bobcats from suffering by taking the steps below:Illinois supporters ONLY can support the bill by clicking here:https://my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Create/91620?committeeHearingId=13478&LegislationId=91620&SCommittees3%2F16%2F2016-page=1&committeeid=0&chamber=S&nodays=7&_=1457556845203
