The Examiner News adds to the coverage of Pace Animal Advocacy Clinic’s efforts to lobby for a law that bans wildlife killing contests in New York (Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed the bill into law).

“Anyone can decide an animal is a ‘nuisance’ animal,” explained Michelle Land, professor of environmental law and policy at Pace University in Pleasantville and the chief faculty member of the Pace Animal Advocacy Clinic.

The Journal News reports Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed a bill that bans wildlife killing contests. This past year, getting the legislation passed became the top priority of Pace University's Animal Advocacy Clinic, where students researched wildlife killing contests, petitioned and lobbied for the passage of S4099/A2917. Pace’s Animal Advocacy Clinic class is led by Dyson Professor Michelle Land, with Director of Blue CoLab John Cronin as co-instructor.

“Given the alarming decline in biodiversity globally and statewide, New York has a special duty to end this indiscriminate killing of wild animals that masquerades as wildlife conservation.” said Michelle Land, Pace University professor of environmental law and policy, and chief faculty of its Animal Advocacy Clinic. “Ending the senseless slaughter from wildlife killing contests is the priority of our clinic students, who will be pressing Governor Hochul to sign the bill into law and, we hope, personally deliver their 550 signature petition in support of the bill.”
