Despite massive opposition, the New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife held its first coyote hunt last year. This private hunting club, masquerading as a state agency, sanctions the killing of more than 1,000,000 animals in New Jersey each year. The violence of hunting must be fought with greater acts of non-violence. That is why we are fasting in solidarity against this hunt. We are willing to make this sacrifice to one day stop the violence against animals.
Coyotes are remarkably interesting.
They are pack animals who mate for life and only if they outlive their mate, do they seek another. During the mating season, the dens are dug by the parents and they both feed the young after weaning. They run about 43 mph and can weigh anywhere from 15 - 45 pounds. Celebratory supper begins at 5 pm. N.J. Many people and communities around the world have focused on the vision of a just and sustainable society in which people can live in balance with one another and with nature.
