One day before he is set to leave office, Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois vetoed legislation that would have allowed bobcat hunting in Illinois for the first time in 40 years. The measure would have amended the wildlife code to allow hunters to kill one bobcat in a season that would run from November 1 to February 15. Quinn said he vetoed the legislation because bobcats are a “valuable part of Illinois’ ecosystem” that should be protected.
