Summary
In 2021, the FL5.org drafted a proposed amendment banning captive wildlife hunting, stating that “Captive wildlife hunting disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems and puts Florida biodiversity at risk” and “pose a severe threat to native wildlife and established ecosystems if they are able to escape.” The “Florida Prohibit Captive Wildlife Hunting and Game Farms Initiative” (Initiative #20-07) was not on the Florida ballot as a constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022.
