Help Stop "Bear Baiting and Shooting" in Canada
Target:
Help stop this "trophy-kill sport"
Sponsored by:
"Bear baiting and shooting". A "technique" among many hunters in Canada.
What does it consist of? Hunters place bait in a barrel to attract the bears, and when these intelligent, gentle, and curious animals come to eat, they are shot often several times before they die. Many bears escape wounded and face a slow death from blood loss, gangrene, or other infections, dehydration, or starvation.
Mother bears who are killed leave behind orphaned cubs who are completely dependent on them for food during their first 17 months, and when left in the wilderness alone, they often cannot survive. In many areas there are few restrictions against shooting mother bears with nursing cubs, leading to the destruction of entire families.
Because of the barbaric nature of bear baiting, it has been banned in British Columbia and many U.S. states. Many Canadians and numerous hunting and conservation groups agree that this is a cruel and unsportsmanlike practice, yet black bears continue to be mercilessly slaughtered in Canada.
Here is a link to a video I found on youtube of bear baiting and shooting.
Please be advised that the video is VERY graphic.
Please sign this petition to help stop this cruel act. Thanks in advance.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper,
I was shocked to learn that bear baiting and shooting is still allowed in most Canadian provinces, despite the fact that it is condemned by the majority of Canadians - and by numerous hunting and conservation groups - as being cruel and unsportsmanlike. We ask you to take action against this form of animal cruelty towards these magnificent animals. Let these animals live in freedom with their cubs instead of being shot, often wounded and left to die suffering just for their fur, leaving many families torn and cubs left to fend for themselves in this cruel world.
Thank you in advance for reading this letter.

Like the videos I have seen of trapped cats that are shot while hiding under a car, I find this type of "hunting" to be very disturbing. How can we expect to be able to evolve when certain people get pleasure from caring so little for life?
