PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) Oregon has officially prohibited wildlife killing contests a competitive event among hunters who want to win cash or other prizes for killing animals within a certain timeframe.
The Humane Society of the United States says other forms of contest such as dogfighting and cockfighting have been denounced for years now, but the competitive hunting of coyotes, rabbits, squirrels and other animals has remained legal in most states. Just in 2018, the organization went undercover at a killing contest in Oregons Malheur National Forest.
