Animal Lovers...Help

Hi Everyone,Not sure if you all know about this, but in Grainger County, TN, there is a Lodge opening in Sept for the purpose of letting people pay up to $10,000. to come in and shoot exotic animals that are kept in fenced areas. TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) says that this is legal..all they have to do is have 20 acres of land for the facility. The person who sent this info to me read that 20 states have outlawed these "canned" hunts. Is there anyone on this list who has been involved in these laws being changed? What can we do , besides writing letters that may or may not be read? Any thoughts would be appreciated as the first hunt is scheduled for Sept. 1.
