The people who care about wildlife have never organized politically as the hunters and trappers and exploiters have. WE NEED TO ORGANIZE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. If wildlife watchers and the exploding vegan movement come together quickly we can start promoting legislation. Legislators primarily care about being reelected and usually are elected on very small margins. So they count on powerful organized groups like hunters. We need to create our majority organized quickly.
A black bear was lost in Grand Rapids, MI today and was hit and killed on the expressway. This is only a few miles from my house and is a strange thing to happen in a large city. It is unfortunate that this happened. I, and several others I have spoken with, have seen a bear about ten miles from where this happened which supposedly has two cubs. I hope that this one and the one killed on the interstate are not the same bear.
I am looking for a black bear cub to raise to educate people in Wisconsin. If I can help, call me at 608-981-2287. I live just north of Madison, and write a living wildlife column for the state. I was on the Captive Bear and Cougar committee for Wisconsin and served on the sole advisory to our DNR. I love bears and am working to help them LIVE in Wisconsin. I can help. It is a pretty simple thing to get a bear care license here. Patricia
@Madravenspeak I wish I could help black bears, the one who can't be returned to the wild, for example, injured ones. Unfortunately, in California, it's not legal to keep black bears or for that matter rehab them (while it is legal to hunt and kill them). I wonder what people can do to stop bear hunting all together in the US.
