Immediate Action Required: Captive Cervids Transfer is Still Alive in Senate

Content Image

Members of the Missouri Senate are still pushing for passage of SB964. This bill aims to transfer control of captive cervids from the Missouri Department of Conservation to the Missouri Department of Agriculture, even though both departments are opposed to the transfer.

SB964 was perfected on April 23, and is on the Formal Calendar for its third reading. This may happen tomorrow. If SB964 passes its third reading, it will head to the House for approval.

Time is of the essence. Please act now to let your Senator know you are opposed to SB964 and the transfer of captive cervids from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Agriculture.

Dear Senator (Blank),

As your constituent, I need you to know that I am adamantly opposed to SB964 and the transfer of captive white-tailed deer from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Agriculture.

There are an estimated 1.5 million wild whitetails in the state of Missouri that over 500,000 hunters pursue each fall. Protecting the wildlife of our state is a major concern of mine. It is also a major concern of my family and my friends.

Please vote NO to SB964.

Thank you for your consideration.

  

Sincerely,
