Stop the Extended,
Inhumane Killing of Black Bears Through
2028! | | |
New
Jersey's Fish and Game Council recently voted to extend
black bear hunting through May 2028. The reasoning given
is to reduce human-to-bear conflicts and manage the bear
population, but this approach is outdated,
cruel, and lacks a firm scientific basis. Despite the
outcry from environmental groups and animal rights
activists, the state is pressing ahead with the
hunt.
Sign the petition to demand
New Jersey stop the extended bear hunts and implement a
non-lethal approach to bear management!
Months
after 114 bears were killed last December, the state is
gearing up for more hunts, scheduled twice a year in
multiple counties until 2028. The justification for
these hunts is flawed. While the state claims that the
bear population and bear-to-human interactions have
increased, there has been no exhaustive effort to
implement non-lethal management methods. More than
$344,000 was spent on an education campaign in fiscal
year 2022, but this has not been coupled with tangible
actions like stricter garbage management rules.
Sign the petition to demand
New Jersey halt the extended bear hunts and adopt a
humane, effective approach to bear
management! | | |
