California to put an end to all bear hunting?

[Versatile_Hunter]

No need to fear, bear hunting ban bill pulled! No need to vote far right buffoons into office to hold onto our hunting rights.

Oh really?  They will be back.  They don't admit it was wrong to be so antiscience.

With more pressing issues such as the pandemic underway, the senator felt “this isn’t the time to focus on this right now,” Catie Stewart, a spokesman for Sen. Scott Wiener, told The Sacramento Bee on Monday.

If you’re actually concerned, joining BHA would be a better use of your time than spreading far right propaganda.

“We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to stop all hunting in the United States ... We will take it species by species until all hunting is stopped in California. Then we will take it state by state.” - Wayne Pacelle, CEO & President of HSUS

Pacelle is no longer the CEO of HSUS. He resigned two years ago due to allegations of sexual harassment.

It makes zero difference who  the HSUS CEO is, the anti hunting mission and message remains exactly the same as can be seen by the failed legislation attempt.

I don't disagree and was involved in opposing them back in the day. I just wanted to clarify that Pacelle resigned in shame.

If you have an hour, here's Pacelle and Adam Roberts debating against Anthony Licata and Catherine Semcer on Do Hunters Conserve Wildlife.

California banned all trapping as well. Now they hire problem areas to be trapped spending taxpayer money to do what people were willing to do for nothing, many times hiring the same people that were trapping the areas before.  As an added bonus the animals taken in a "nuisance" contract can't be utilized at all and need to be burned or landfilled. How's that for wise use of a renewable resource?
