As a mother and grandmother,…

As a mother and grandmother, I believe it is our duty to protect and preserve wildlife as precious natural resources for, not just our own children, but all future generations.

So I strongly urge you to halt the the spring bear hunt. I have read numerous and compelling reports by environmental and animal welfare groups repudiating the proposed hunt as reckless, cruel, barbaric and totally without merit. The only group that does support it are craven trophy hunters who should not have any more say or influence than any other citizen. The vast majority of the public are appalled by the thought of bringing back the spring bare hunt where cowards with guns kill cubs and mother bears alike and as mother bears often leave their cubs to look for food, when the mother is killed, her cubs will either starve to death or be killed by other animals.

You must not allow this to happen! Please do not bring back the spring bear hunt, if not for reasons of decency and compassion, then at least for the sake of our public image.
