Hello, As a busy professional working in the media, we know that one viewer comment equals hundreds who feel similarly but won't, or can't , take the time to submit their comments. I earnestly hope you appreciate that this issue is exceedingly important to me and I therefore and taking time to comment. This is an election issue for me.
I do not support the bear hunt. Despite rules to the contrary studies show mother bears are shot - regularly. Loss of mothers = the death of cubs = diminishment of the species. I have read your justifications and I do not believe statements or supposed research that indicates reinstating the bear hunt stems from an economic need. The bear hunt will have a devastating impact on this species.
Supporting our environment and it's creatures has become the number one platform issue for me and an increasing number of voters. THE number one issue over everything else. It is time to do the right thing, Do NOT extend this hunt. STOP the hunt. Period.
I will be watching.
