Stop the Slaughter

The Issue

The state wildlife commission sanctioned the murder of 10% of the bear population in Florida. We must not let them continue this practice. With only a total of 3,000 bears in Florida, the number of licenses to kill them totaled 3,700. ($1 million in license fees.)

 Far more than the state-mandated “cap” of the 329 bears were killed. So many so fast that the state had to stop the hunt after only 2 days!

We must ensure the Wildlife Commission does not cave in to the relentless demands of hunters who want to slaughter these innocent animals. Although there was a victory for 2016, we have to make this change permanent. Help us send a message and sign our Petition!
