ACTION ALERT
N.J. Fish & Game Council Changes Threaten Hunting, Fishing & Trapping
New Jersey Legislative Bills A6055/S4893 would remove three sportsmen from the Fish & Game Council and replace them with animal-welfare advocates — including a possible Chair.
This means less science-based management and more anti-hunting & anti-fishing influence on decisions that directly affect you.
Why It Matters to You
If these bills pass, sportsmen can expect:
• Reduced hunting, fishing, and trapping opportunities
• Restricted access to land and water
• Policies shaped by groups who don’t fund or participate in conservation
Why Wildlife Loses
Removing science-based management leads to:
• Poor habitat decisions
• Declining wildlife populations
• More disease
• Loss of biodiversity
This has already happened in states like Oregon and Washington.
Take Action NOW
Sportsmen must speak up or these bills will pass.
