Description
As a result of a statutory change in 1997, New Mexico is the only state in the West that allows landowners to kill wildlife if they believe they might damage their property (including crops). The result has been instances of wholesale slaughter of wild animals – including incidents of 19 elk and 41 pronghorn antelope killed at a single time. HB73 would have repealed the 1997 amendment, while still allowing landowners to kill predators that threaten human life, livestock or family pets.
Outcome
Defeated in the House.
