What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) imports non-native baby birds, costing almost $2 million in tax dollars, for use as hunting training tools. Animal advocates have called for the DEC to replace this practice with skeet or trap shooting. State Assembly Bill A888 proposes to prohibit the state’s participation in artificial propagation activities.
