Today I read in the paper that the government is considering making the pilot project on bear hunting permanent. I didn’t even realize the pilot project existed. I strongly encourage the government to cancel the project altogether. I’m discouraged at the lack of regard humans still have for their fellow earthlings especially in this age of mass extinctions caused by our disregard for the earth and our huge population growth shrinking natural habitats. I do not understand the mentality of ‘sport’ hunting; the desire to kill for the sake of killing. I can understand the need to kill for food, but honestly how many of these hunters actually need to kill for food? It sounds like the people lobbying for the hunt to become permanent are the tourism outfitters and local businesses that profit from the hunt. Obviously the hunters are ‘sport’ hunters and not people hunting for survival.
