STOP THE FLORIDA BLACK BEAR HUNT!!

  • by: Kevin Silvey
  • recipient: Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC)

The FWC has authorized a black bear hunting season. This is the first in 40 Years. The State caters to new businesses and welcomes developers, but wants to kill the Bears who inhabited this State long before we did!!

There were 36,000 petitions signed asking for protection for the bears, $5,000 donated for bear proof trash cans so that we can co-exist with the Florida bears and more than 400 calls to Governor Rick Scott asking him to put a stop to this hunt!  

In addition, 75% of Floridians opposed this action and there was a lack of sound science including an incomplete population count (the true number of Florida black bears is not known), but the FWC voted for this awful hunt without regard to the will of the people and with callous disregard for the Florida black bear species! 

Lets put the pressure on before the hunt begins on October 1, 2015!!
