Ask Florida Governor DeSantis to Investigate Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission's Collaboration With Animal Rights Groups Pertaining to Regulation and Oversight

Create Your Letter

Wildlife is an important issue in Florida not only for sporting elements, but in a climate where many animal owners chose Florida specifically as a home for their conservation efforts for non-native wildlife that is at risk of extinction or is considered endangered in their indigenous habitat in other parts of the world.

I have been made aware that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has been implementing an animal rights leaning ideology which has been influencing policy and enforcement to the great detriment of Florida animal owners and animal enterprise.

In light of this, I am concerned about the FWC’s series of meetings in the coming months asking for public input pertaining to Elephant rides and contact with Uncontained Captive Wildlife.  It is clear most Floridians know little about these matters and I am concerned that this is an orchestrated effort to allow animal rights extremists and their organizations to dominate these forums and use these forums to justify writing new regulations to the detriment of the licensed exhibitors.

I am writing to you today to ask that the Florida Attorney General’s Office investigate this illegal and wrongful action by FWC executives and staff against Florida’s animal owners and animal enterprise and stop this behavior.

Failure to do so will not only negatively impact the conservation of certain animal species and law abiding animal owners and animal businesses, but it will also deprive thousands of Florida residents, families, and visitors from access to these important opportunities for interaction and education, while also destroying a big part of Florida tourism, jobs, and legal businesses across the state of Florida.

I respectfully ask that you investigate Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and their taking input and collaboration with animal rights groups pertaining to regulation and oversight over animal-related businesses in Florida.
