Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared our petition demanding justice for Jasper! We now have over 8,000 signatures! Please continue sharing to ensure that our voices are heard, and that change occurs within the Sheriff's Office to ensure that no tragic death like Jasper's EVER occurs again. This week all of us bear advocates located in Nevada have another important job to do! We MUST speak out against the annual bear hunt, and demand a ZERO QUOTA of bears to be killed in the 2017 hunt. The next Nevada Department Of Wildlife meeting will take place on May 13th. At that meeting, the Commissioners will determine the number of bears allowed to be killed during the 2017 bear hunt season. They need to hear from you as soon as possible that NO BEARS SHOULD BE KILLED in this year's hunt season! Please email them today! While this is a heated topic and lives are on the line, we highly encourage you to be polite and to the point in your comments. Here is some suggested text: Commissioners: I write to you with concern regarding the 2017 Nevada bear hunt season and ask that you vote for a zero quota, or the lowest legally allowable quota. It is time for NV to discontinue the unnecessary and unpopular trophy hunting of bears, and focus on community education and habitat preservation. A 2017 statewide poll from Remington Research Group revealed that 66% of Nevada residents are opposed to the trophy hunting of our native species, including bears. The Commission should do the right thing and act in accordance with wishes of the people of Nevada, not bow to a fringe group who enjoy unnecessary killing. Thank you for your time and consideration. Your name Your address Emails can be directed to the secretary for the commission at sscourby@ndow.org. Please title your email: "Please forward to the Commissioners and enter in record re: bear hunt" Your voice DOES make a difference! The state of Florida cancelled their hunts for 2017 and 2018 due to PUBLIC pressure! Hunters are speaking out FOR the hunt, so please be a voice for the bears and help save lives! Questions?
