Dear
SAOVA Friends,
We have an urgent message from our friends at the California Outdoor Heritage Alliance. Once again HSUS is pushing its anti-hunting agenda with Senate Bill 1221 that would outlaw the use of dogs for hunting bears and bobcats in California. Your help is needed to stop this bill and protect the tradition of hunting with hounds.
As always, we encourage cross posting of these messages and thanks for reading.

BEAR HUNTING BILL SET FOR HEARING
Recently, Senator Ted Lieu (D/28th-Torrance) and Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg (D/6th-Sacramento) introduced Senate Bill 1221, legislation that would outlaw the use of dogs for hunting bears and bobcats in California. This dangerous measure has been set for its first policy committee hearing on April
24th in the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee.
By attempting to prohibit the use of dogs via statute, SB 1221 would violate the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) - the process established by the Legislature to ensure that policy decisions which impact our natural resources are based upon the best available science, following thorough environmental review. Natural resource policy decisions are appropriately made in public forum by the California Fish and Game Commission - the regulatory body established by the Legislature specifically to regulate hunting seasons, bag limits and methods
of take. SB 1221 would not only prohibit the long-standing tradition of hunting these species with hounds, but also place all other types of hunting with dogs in serious jeopardy.
The California Outdoor Heritage Alliance (COHA) is actively working with our member organizations - including the California Houndsmen for Conservation and the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance - to defeat this measure. TO BE SUCCESSFUL, COHA URGENTLY NEEDS YOUR HELP! It is critical that members of the Senate Committee hear from you. For a sample opposition letter and Legislator contact information,

Please help COHA spread the word by forwarding this Field Wire to all of your friends who care about the future of hunting and wildlife conservation in California.
The Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee hearing is open to the public, and will be held in Room 112 of the State Capitol at 9:30 am.
