(4,316 posts)Coyotes, crows, mourning doves, elk, raccoon, fox, bobcat. And coyote populations are not "controlled" by hunting. It in fact makes more coyotes because there are not stable families. Mourning doves have about 1 bite of meat on them. Crows are shot in the thousands just for fun. Why in the heck do you have "peace" in your name. You don't deserve it.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Another coyote hunt this weekend is sparking controversy. However, this time the organizer says much of the proceeds go to charity to help terminally ill children, while protestors argue a killing contest is no way to raise money. This weekend, at least 34 teams of two are out hunting coyotes for prizes, but there were several people near Central Avenue Saturday speaking out against wildlife killing contests. Protestors stood outside the University of New Mexico campus Saturday, calling wildlife killing contests a blood sport, and hate crimes against animals. "There's other ways to raise money, killing for entertainment is still killing for entertainment, and charity is no excuse to go out and kill as many animals as you can," said Elizabeth Dicharry, contest protestor.
