CALL TO ACTION: Contact Wyoming Office of Tourism re Grizzly Hunt

A recent study by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department found that wildlife watchers contribute 1.8 times as much as hunters to the Wyoming economy. That means we should have at least as much voice!

Let the Wyoming Office of Tourism know that you oppose a grizzly hunt and you won't visit the state as long as there is a hunt planned.

#Wyoming will allow #TrophyHunting of grizzly bears that leave #Yellowstone and #GrandTetons National Parks this fall! Even though wildlife watching tourists contribute 1.8x as much as hunters! 🐻💔 #ThatsWY #NoGrizHunt #FindYourParks @wyomingtourism pic.twitter.com/Khe9rGFnOW

#Wyoming is holding a trophy hunting of #Yellowstone grizzly bears this fall but working to hide it from tourists. Why is that @wyomingtourism? Bc people like me will go to Montana or BC instead? #NoGrizHunt #BanTrophyHunting #ThatsWY #FindYourPark pic.twitter.com/WbgNWrARSe

Wildlife watching tourists contribute 1.8x as much as hunters to #Wyoming economy yet their voices are ignored as state preps for #TrophyHunting of grizzlies outside of #Yellowstone and #GrandTetons National Parks. #NoGrizHunt #ThatsWY @wyomingtourism pic.twitter.com/sjkqVazmHU

Email the Office of Tourism tourism@wyo.gov and ask them to apply pressure to call off the grizzly bear hunt. Here is a sample script but it is better if you personalize it and mention that you have plans or were going to make plans to visit but are opting to visit Montana or British Columbia instead.

I am devastated by Wyoming's decision to hold a trophy hunt of Yellowstone ecosystem grizzly bears. I understand that the Office of Tourism is not responsible for such decisions but I believe that your office should relay to the governor and those who are responsible that tourists come to Wyoming to view wildlife. We will go to other locales instead - like Montana or British Columbia - where grizzly bears are not hunted - and we will spend our hard earned money there if this hunt is to go forward.
