Join the Student Animal Legal Defense, the Environmental Law Society, and the Humane Society of the United States for a Discussion on Hunting in Texas.
Captive hunts, also known as “canned hunts,” are the very opposite of traditional "fair chase" hunting. Shooters at captive hunts pay to kill animals—even endangered species—trapped behind fences. The Texas Director of the Humane Society of the United States will speak about this industry and its conservation impacts on native wildlife, current regulations, and the future of hunting in Texas.
