We are not allowed to shoot bears in Florid. Every time the Bear Hunt comes up, the animal rights nuts go berserk.............

Needless to say we are up to our ears in black bears......

BRAVE AI:

Shooting Bears Illegal in Florida

As of May 10, 2025, hunting black bears in Florida is a contentious issue. While hunting was banned in 1994, a limited hunt was authorized in 2015, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has proposed issuing permits for the hunting of another 187 bears later this year.

However, this move has sparked significant backlash from wildlife advocates, and a petition with over 31,000 signatures has been submitted against it.

Current Status:

Hunting Permits: The FWC has proposed issuing permits for the hunting of 187 bears, but this is currently under review and faces opposition.

Legal Protections: In June 2024, Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, signed a bill that loosened protections for black bears.

This indicates that while there is a proposal to allow bear hunting, it is not universally accepted and is currently a topic of debate.

They should be sued for endangering people by not controlling the numbers carefully of black bears

I love wildlife as much as the next guy, but people who want wild animals to have more rights than humans are totally nuts. Almost all of these animals aren’t endangered anymore, and they’re so prolific that they are a bigger menace to humans. It almost makes me wish that a bear or a gator would attack and kill one of these leftist nuts.

Ideally wildlife numbers should be between “Dangerous” and “Endangered”...
