A Florida circuit judge refused to halt the long-planned and anticipated Florida bear hunt. The bear hunt is the first to be allowed since 2014-15, when 305 bears were harvested in two days. Bear Warriors United, a non-profit association, attempted to stop the hunt. Here is the first sentence in Bear Warriors United vision:
Our vision is to create a Florida where people and wildlife coexist in balance and mutual respect.
The vision implies nature is in balance without humans, and animals are legitimately regarded as the equal of humans. It is a basic misunderstanding of reality. There is no “balance” in nature unless it is created and maintained by humans. Respect for humans by animals is created by a justified fear of humans. Animals do not read laws. Animals are not concerned with human ethics or morals. Animals are not people. Most bears killed in Florida are cubs, killed and eaten by adult male bears. The scheduled bear hunt is aimed at killing adult male bears, by scheduling the hunt for the period most female bears with cubs are already in dens for hibernation, and adult males are still out and about.
About 300 bears are killed in vehicle collisions in Florida each year. The last study to determine the bear population was in 2014-15. The population was estimated at about 4,350. The growth of the bear population in Florida was estimated to reach 11,000 by 2026, which happens to be the same as the bear population was estimated to be before European contact. Florida, because of human intervention, is much more productive of food available to bears than it was before European contact.
In the planned hunt, it is unlikely more than 133 bears will be harvested.

The real question - are the monkey’s capable of pulling a voting lever in exchange for food pellets?
I read there was one multiple case of trichinosis last year in Ameria. It was from improperly cooked bear meat. You are correct about the temps.
It’s entirely possible and might have already been happening.
“These ppl aren’t living in reality.”
Remember that guy in Alaska that used to sing to the bears before they finally ate him?
“I do have some sympathy for the idea that human expansion into more and more wildlife areas is forcing animals, including bears, into more frequent contact with humans. “
This could be greatly alleviated if we deported 50 million people.
There were far fewer bears when there were far fewer people because those people were outside working and hunting instead of sitting inside watching TV and playing games.
they need to kill these frickin coyotes here too. they are OUT OF CONTROL
They shouldn’t be driving! that’s the first mistake
You must bear witness to him, I think.
Ah, yes. The Irish...
It’s just fifferent cultures coexisting.....like muslim immigrants in sweeden raping whomever they want and the white women running for their lives or submitting.
Bears and people...let the cultures coexist, until one is sufficiently gone.
Im from N Fla. Growing up seeing a bear was like seeing a unicorn. Now I guess they are attacking people in their garages and yards. Time for some bear hunting.
Tough audience.
The bears made him sing for their dinner....
Well played.

Judges should have no legal jurisdiction over matters involving wildlife.
My, how magnanimous of this judge.
Is there ANYTHING federal judges don’t stick their noses into anymore?
When someone files a lawsuit a judge has to stick his nose in.
