Stop DFG UNLIMITED “Bear Harvest”
The CA Dept. of Fish and Game is asking for an increase in the annual “bear harvest” from the current 1700 to UNLIMITED. They also want to allow GPS collars on bear hunting dogs. Use of dogs is already outlawed in some states.

Bears are beautifu and shy animals. They are generally timid. You only see them when they are looking for food. It is terrible and I feel a crime to shoot an innocent bear. In this day and age, what have humans become or becoming? Someone who shoots an innocent bear is no less than someone shooting an innocent life. How can a hunter sleep at night. Bear hunters deserve something else in this life. Some kind of awareness, a sensitive consciousness, or some kind of illness to put a stop to this slaughter.
