As the war on wildlife wages on, Washington bears are back in the crosshairs of bear trophy hunters!

The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) wants to establish a permanent spring bear hunting season.

Yesterday was World Wildlife Day, and sadly instead of posting about true conservation success stories, thriving wildlife populations, and ecosystems, we have to advocate to save animals from trophy hunters and the government agencies charged with protecting them.
