Tomorrow night, America's #1 rated TV drama, CSI, will
feature a storyline about one of the ugliest forms of
animal cruelty, canned hunting. Canned hunting is the
killing of a fenced-in animal who has no chance of
escape, for the sole purpose of obtaining a trophy.
That's right: animals -- often tame, exotic mammals --
are put into an enclosure for rich individuals to
"hunt." It is as horrible as you can imagine.
Learn more about this outrageous "sport" here.
In the CSI episode, which airs Thursday, February 10,
on CBS (check your local listings for exact times),
characters investigate the killing of a Kodiak bear
found in the Nevada woods. Evidence leads them to
discover that the bear was killed during an illegal
canned hunt.
This is critical public exposure for an animal
protection issue that deserves serious attention --
and you can help to make an even bigger impact.
1. Take action to stop canned hunts now. U.S. Senator
Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) recently introduced the
Sportsmanship in Hunting Act, which aims to halt the
interstate traffic of exotic animals for the purpose
of killing or injuring them for entertainment or
trophy collecting. Contact your U.S. senators today
and ask them to co-sponsor this legislation
2. Tune into CSI on Thursday, February 10. Take this
unprecedented opportunity to educate someone you know

February 10!
