Say “No” to Sunday Hunting

March 18, 2010–Like trail riding on the weekends? Your safety may be in jeopardy if the Maryland state legislature passes a bill to allow hunting on Sundays from October through January. EPIC encourages you to take action on the following issue:

The Maryland state legislature is considering a bill (H.B. 1518) to allow hunting on Sundays from October through January across much of the state. The animals need a day of rest, and so do people who ride horses, hike or watch wildlife and nature without the threat of being shot.

Please make a brief, polite phone call to your state delegate(s) (click here to find your delegate’s information) and urge opposition to H.B. 1518. You can say: “As a constituent, I’m calling to ask you to oppose H.B. 1518, which would open up Sunday hunting in Maryland.” After you call, send a follow-up message.

If you’re able, please attend a hearing on the bill this Friday, March 19, at 1 pm in Room 250, House Office Building, 6 Bladen Street, Annapolis, MD 21401.
