Humane Society: Hunting Tournaments Should Stop

The Humane Society of the United States wants to ban hunting contests in Indiana after dozens of coyotes were killed during a contest in Warren County.

Undercover investigators from the organization attended the contest weigh-in at the Williamsport Fire Department. More than a dozen teams competed in categories for killing the most coyotes, the heaviest coyote and the smallest coyote.

Approximately 60 coyotes were shot during the contest.

Hunters say they are keeping the animals numbers in check, while the Humane Society says the hunting contests actually increase the number of coyotes breeding here.
