https://committeetoabolishsporthunting.wordpress.com/2021/02/11/action-needed-to-ban-sport-hunting-of-black-bears-throughout-california/January 27, 2021
A groundbreaking bill that has offered a glimpse of hope for animal advocates in California, has just been introduced by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco). The Bear Protection Act (SB 252), that is sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), would finally ban all sport hunting of black bears in the state.
Shockingly, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) currently allows hunters to kill up to 1,700 black bears in a single season. This legislation would ban all sport hunting of black bears. If successful, California would be the first state to offer this level of protection for bears and would set an example for the rest of the nation.
Californians deeply value the environment and have shown time and again that they dont want to see their iconic wildlife slaughtered for sport, said Sabrina Ashjian, California State Director for the Humane Society of the United States. By passing The Bear Protection Act, California can cement its position as a leader in protecting our natural resources and spare thousands of Californias majestic and beloved black bears from a needless and unnecessary death.
Please contact your California state lawmaker to voice your support for banning the hunting of bears throughout California and urge them to commit to passing this critical bill. Find your representatives.
