Tonight as I go to bed. I want to share with the members here, just how grateful I am. For your love and support of our Bears. I only wish there was a way for the Bears to know, just how hard some of us are working, to save them. And what they mean to many of us in Oklahoma. But even more wonderful, is how the love of our Bears extends to signers of the petition from 47 of our 50 United States and from amazingly wonderful people from 32 Beautiful Countries. Including one signer from Russia. I truly believe what we are doing, is so much bigger than ourselves. And our Bears are bringing good people together for a very noble cause. We reached the 1,000 mark, with our count at 1,032 signers. Hooray! Yesterday, we only had 550 signers. Hopefully the count will grow tomorrow and Friday morning, the petition will be presented. I posted an event for Protest on Saturday, I hope all that can attend at Broken Bow, Oklahoma will attend. We will continue to bring attention to others, what the Choctaw Nation and the State of Oklahoma, intend to do to our Bears starting Sunday, October 1st. Our Bears are reaching the world's stage. Just as Cecil the Lion did. In spite of the turmoil in the world. There are still good people that care. And I am glad we are being brought together. World opinion will shut down this barbaric world! When enough of us gather together and say- no more! The Beatles song- Imagine comes to mind. Imagine a wilderness world, where the animals are allowed to live. And humans pose no threat. Thank you- everyone that have been signing and sharing. Please push the petition hard tomorrow. Write your letters to Chief Gary Batton and Assistant Chief Jack Austin Jr. and Brian Danker-Head of Wildlife Department. Tell them to Stop the Hunt! The world is watching in Disgust!
