I am actually appalled that this is even a topic to discuss, and was surprised when it was brought to my attention. You refer to bears being "harvested" as if they are not sentient beings on whose habitat WE are encroaching. You also mention updating regulations to improve fairness, but your concern for fairness is misguided. Who is looking out for the fairness of these animals? At some point, we need to take a good hard look at what harm we humans are causing to this planet and it's rightful inhabitants. Animals are often given the title "invasive species" and then we decide that they should be removed, or reduced. I would argue and am very confident that I am correct, that humans are indeed the most invasive species on this planet and the ones that do the most harm.
This is barbaric, and pandering to hunters is shameful. If anyone is actually reading this, please really think about what these laws are about and how wrong it actually is. We should be protecting innocent lives, not offering them up for a few bucks and some entertainment for strange people who like to kill things.
