Allowing Black Bear Hunting is “Bad Public Policy”

in Animal News

In an opinion editorial for Florida Politics, Born Free USA’s Jennifer Place and The Humane Society of the United States’ Kate MacFall condemn the hunting of black bears in Florida. Place and MacFall write, “On June 24 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will vote on a proposal to open a trophy hunt on Florida’s unique subspecies of black bears. They were removed from the list of threatened species just three years ago. The trouble is, the commission does not have enough information to make that decision, and is going against the wishes of many Floridians.”
