Stop the Hypocrisy: Oppose Unscientific Coyote Hunting Restrictions in California

The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) is pushing for unnecessary and politically motivated restrictions on coyote hunting in California — including bag limits and hunting seasons — despite coyotes being abundant, resilient, and even harmful to endangered species.

CBD has previously admitted in formal petitions that coyotes prey on vulnerable, ground-nesting endangered birds like the snowy plover and least tern. Now, in a blatant reversal, they are demanding protections for the same predator — ignoring the ecological harm coyotes can cause and prioritizing their ideological opposition to recreational hunting over real conservation.

This campaign is not about science — it’s about politics.

Coyotes are not endangered. Their numbers are increasing and they are among the most adaptable predators in North America.

California’s wildlife should be managed through transparent, science-based processes — not hijacked by activist-driven agendas. Regulating a plentiful predator while admitting it harms endangered species is not only hypocritical — it’s dangerous for conservation.

Take a stand. Tell the California Wildlife Resources Committee to reject this politically motivated rulemaking. Demand science-based management — not activist overreach.
