Maryland legislature has approved a trophy bear hunt in Alleghy County Maryland in October. The request for a Bear Hunt was promoted by hunters. There are only 300 bears in Maryland. This is an indicriminate killing of bears for 'sport', not the killing or problem bears. There is no provision cubs left orphaned by the killing. Bears are basically shy and avoid humans unless humans move into bear country and leave food out to attract bears. As was done in Yellostone, bears can be trained to stay away from Human food. Please CALL GOV EHRLICH now at 1-800-811-8336 to state your opposition to Bear Hunt and ask him to veto the Bear Hunt What is left of the animals in America should be preserved, not destroyed. While American groups promote the saving of species in other countries, we are killing our own Animals. Maryland should set up a preserve for bears, deer and other animals.
Are you in Maryland?
What is a "throphy?"
Support the right to keep and arm bears!!!!
You're gonna love this Ping!
Why don't they just go to the woods and stand between
the bears and the guns?
Excuse me while I laugh.
"D'wat, I missed 'em again!"
I live in Maryland.
I agree that shooting animals for sport when you don't intend to eat them is needlessly cruel and should be below the dignity of a human being. If respecting life isn't conservative, what is?
I guess I should add that the thinning of an overpopulated herd that is a threat to itself or to human activities is also fine, before someone nitpicks me to death.
Bears are just a more powerful kind of pit bull ...
cruelty to animals dontchaknow ...
We all know there has been a bear problem for a while now. Hell, my mother had a bear going through her trash last weekend, and she lives in Glen Echo(inside the beltway- about 10 miles from Gerogetown). And it's not pressure from hunters that's opening up a season. I can't stand the dishonesty from the anti's.
I'm a hardcore bowhunter and run http://www.marylandbowhunter.com. I'm trying to get this board jumping. I invite you and all huntin' freepers to make yourself at home and have some fun.
1. There is absolutely nothing wrong with killing any animal for sport.
2. There is not such thing as problem bears. Bears are bears. They are animals. They have no intellect. They have no ability to choose. When bears come into contact with man, they become man's problem. That problem is solved by man, by killing bears.
3. Man should be able to live where he desires. If he desires to live where bear live, and bear become a problem, then he should be able to eliminate the problem. Until there is an open season on liberals in Montgomery County, I would suggest that you let man migrate to western MD. It is safer for everyone involved.</p?
4. Maryland Bears is sponsored by The Fund for Animals. The Fund for Animals, “we speak for those who can’t”, is a bunch of socialist wackos more concerned about animals than they are people. Enough said.
Would it be ok for me to shoot one if I promise to eat it?
I shot one in N. WI a year ago and it was just fine eatin'
