An Open Letter

To: Sen. Harper, Rep. Dunnigan, Gov. Cox

From: A verified voter in West Jordan, UT

May 19

I'm a constituent from West Jordan disgusted with the direction government is taking! I'm writing to urge you to amend HB 125 and HB 469 to apply a more balanced approach to predator management. Unrestricted targeting of our mountain lions risks exacerbating the very deer population problem the State is trying to remedy while increasing the risk to public and pet safety. Mountain lions play a critical and vital role in the balance of our wild Utah. Their targeted removal risks long term ecological sustainability for short term financial gain. And we deserve the right to roam safely on public lands. For the benefit of all wildlife advocacy stakeholders, I am asking for your support to amend HB 125 and HB 469 with a more scientific and collaborative approach to predator management. Thank you for your time and consideration.
