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.
:^D
"IT'S COMIN' RIGHT FOR US!!!"
'Would sussie object to the Viking Kitties hunting Trolls?'
My guess is that she's against ANY form of hunting because it involves those nasty old guns.
Bear meat is delicious. I prefer it to beef. If I had the time, I'd be joining in on this hunt.
Vision--why don't you shoot a Maryland bear, and invite all us Maryland Freepers over for a barbecue (I'll volunteer to help cook, if you need the help). It would be a great excuse to get together. I have plenty of venison to contribute if necessary (or I could smoke a goose breast....)
Renfield, I would love to hook up with some huntin' freepers. You do any bowhunting?
I hunt as often as I can, but don't do much bowhunting. This will probably change soon....the deer have ruined my garden, and are working on ruining everything else I have, but someone built a day-care center right next to it, so I can't shoot behind the house anymore.
hunh?!?!?!?!
I see. It's not about the bears, it's about bashing men.
Piss off.
We are not ALONE at the top of the food chain. I've eaten bear meat. It makes pretty good sausage.
I'm sure that, under the right circumstances, a bear would be happy to return the favour.
As are pigs. And lobsters.

They need to be thinned out = Maryland DNR, Dept. of Natural Resources holds meeting about WMd Bears. They are generous enough to hold about 7 meetings (one in WMd) and six in the chardonnay areas of the state.
So, it is guaranteed that people who never see Bears hanging around their garbage and kids get to have their opinions heard. It's a farce, a sham - a total setup.
These people think the outdoors is going to the local hiking trail for a 15 minute walk and returning to their Ansel Adams meditation room. These people are ecogeek morons who have no clue about what it means to live in the western part of the state.
