THE NEW MEXICO SENATE HAS APPROVED, AND SENT ON TO THE HOUSE, A BILL THAT OUTLAWS ORGANIZED COYOTE KILLING CONTESTS. THE VOTE WAS 26-15, WITH MOST OF THE SUPPORT COMING FROM URBAN LAWMAKERS, AND THE OPPOSITION FROM THOSE IN RURAL AREAS OF THE STATE.
THE SENATE PASSED A SIMILAR BILL IN 2015, BUT IT FAILED TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE HOUSE.
