STOP BEAR HUNT

 

 

Stop the proposed Florida Bear Hunt!

Please call and email Governor DeSantis. Tell him to stop the proposed Florida black bear hunt.
Phone: (850)-717-9337
Email: GovernorRon.Desantis@eog.myflorida.com

Read More in The Guardian article featuring Suncoast Sierra Club Executive Committee Member James Scott: This is a rich man’s hunt. It’s not science-based conservation......If we got to where bear populations were clearly exceeding the carrying capacity of any given unit, with the negative effects that come with that, that would be justification, a science-based, conservation-based approach to hunting. But they haven’t got anywhere near justifying that.
