                        The justification for these hunts is flawed.









                        Stop the Extended, Inhumane Killing of Black Bears 
Through 2028!

                        Vladimir,



                        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outdated, cruel, and lacks a firm scientific basis.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!




                 Thank you,

                        Jess
