Action Alerts From Animal Defenders of Westchester (ADOW)


Tell Rockerfeller State Park PRESERVE to stop Bow hunting!

Rockefeller State Park PRESERVE is nestled in the foothills of the Hudson River in Westchester County, where you may 'hike and enjoy views of the Hudson and Kykuit and witness the spectacular view of the sun setting over the Hudson and the Tappan Zee Bridge,' while viewing birds, coyotes, bears, raccoons, turtles, frogs and more natural wonders.

Bow hunting was introduced into this lovely, bucolic setting, for deer 'management' in conjunction with the controlled-by-hunters NYS DEC; but there are multiple reasons this incredibly cruel activity - done for hunter's 'enjoyment' only - can and should be replaced by humane methods such as immunocontraceptives and birth control hormones and more. Read What to do about deer.

Whose wildlife is it? Local citizens are challenging this issue in several states. We published two excellent, informative letters on this disgrace in Westchester Rising: Animal crackers, Rockefeller State Park and deer

Please like and add comments to the Save Rocky's Deer Facebook page.

Please also politely but strongly state your objections to their bow hunting on Rockefeller Park's own facebook page.

ALSO: Please email George Gumina, president of the Friends of Rockerfeller State Park PRESERVE.

** Animal advocacy works! Rockefeller originally posted shameful signage stating, 'We are propagating plants because deer and invasive species have reduced their numbers.' Due to persistent intervention they removed the signs! More on this park shortly, as they are now planning to add Carriage Horse rides.

Thank you as always for your inspired work to help the voiceless!
