As a native Floridian, 1,000 humans moving into my state, daily, why kill the bears? We are encroaching on their habitat! If humans feel they’re a threat, don’t live near the forest!!!!! Use bear proof garbage cans! Personally, I feel that humans are encroaching on MY state! My great, great grandfather was 4th governor of Florida, Madison Stark Perry! Maternal grandfather was mayor of Wildwood for years, Richard Rector! Paternal grandmother was provost of Brevard County for years, Edna Carlile! The bears have the right to live here and not allow Trophy Hunters from killing them!!!!!!!’
We lived in the panhandle for a decade, of two different sides of the same preservation, and were lucky enough to see countless bears over the years. This proposal is heartbreaking. Seeing them in the wild was always a pleasure & something we still miss & talk about many years later. Please speak up & protect these beautiful animals!
For the past 20 years we have been privileged to share our property with Florida black bears, with the understanding they were there first. We respect their habitat, have no desire to harm them, and know they have no desire to harm us. We can continue to live together and appreciate how blessed we are to have them in our world. There is no need to hunt them.
