Stop Wildlife Killing Contests in Manitoba

Stop Wildlife Killing Contests in Manitoba

A cruel and archaic wildlife shooting contest recently took place in Minnedosa, Manitoba, where teams competed to kill as many crows, magpies, and gophers as possible for points. This was one of two such contests held in Manitoba this spring targeting crows and magpies.

Hunting contests are banned in many jurisdictions and are increasingly out of step with public values. While Manitoba’s Wildlife Act prohibits hunting contests targeting “wild animals,” it defines the term narrowly—excluding many native species, including crows, magpies, and gophers.

Please take a moment to ask Manitoba’s Minister of Natural Resources and Indigenous Futures to close this cruel loophole and update the Wildlife Act to prohibit all hunting competitions.
