Earth First!’s Crane Hunt Demands
Our official demands regarding the crane hunt, as submitted today at the Game and Fish Department’s Tucson office:
1. An immediate moratorium on sandhill crane hunting this season until the Arizona Game and Fish Department can investigate the blatant cruelty and illegality witnessed by Earth First! Patrols during the first two shotgun seasons this year (see attached documents).
2. That the Game and Fish Commission not reauthorize the sandhill crane hunt for 2006, nor for any year until sandhill cranes have recovered to their historic numbers. That is, a complete ban on sandhill crane hunting in Arizona.
