ANIMAL WELFARE
Advocate for Animals
Through our efforts in NJ we have banned ivory and rhino horn transactions to save elephants and rhinos from extinction, banned the importation and transportation of “trophies” of endangered species, stopped the cruelty of wild animal performances in circuses, banned the shark fin trade, and ended the bear hunt.
There is still much to do. Help us continue to advance animal welfare policy change by donating to our cause.

S471/A2005 is dedicated to restructuring the NJ Fish & Game Council. As of 2025, New Jersey wildlife management practices (hunting seasons) are decided upon by the Fish & Game Council, a governing body that resides under the Department of Environmental Protection. Currently, the Fish & Game Council membership is a majority (6/11) of hunters—as recommended by the Sportsmen's Club, a private organization. S471/A2005 will allow for an equal number of hunters and animal-friendly representatives, from renowned animal protection organizations, to have a seat on the council. This bill is not anti-hunter—it is pro-equality for our NJ wildlife management representatives.

Over the last four years, over 1,500 native NJ black bears have been hunted and killed: 467 black bears in 2025, 473 in 2024, 493 in 2023, and 114 in 2022. Black bears are a native species to New Jersey and play a critical role in our ecosystem. They are not inherently aggressive creatures, but can become a nuisance when they seek food in human-occupied areas—leading to garbage disturbances and human/bear conflicts. This fight is to promote equality among our representatives, lessen human/bear interactions, and preserve our native wildlife. But, there has been major pushback on S471/A2005 by our legislators and we need your help to speak up for this bill.
