Dear Readers.
I know how very tired you must be of seeing and hearing this, but by this time tomorrow, it may all be over for our magnificent Florida Black Bears.
The meeting will be in Jacksonville
We all knew this, it has been talked about everywhere.
But the stories have been quite remiss on every channel, as to when and where, this meeting will actually take place.
Was/is this intentional to keep those of us who are outraged by this away?
The idea that it can and will, soon be OPEN season on our Bears is inconceivable.
One of the most beautiful and majestic beings to ever live in this state will, if this is passed and I am positive it will be, hunted down, shot and killed like any of the other wild animals here, that are already being murdered for SPORT.
The idea that I/we may soon have to drive past the gruesome scene on the side of our county roads here in Lake County with these maniacs with guns and silencers will NOW be killing Black Bears, legally.
It was only one short year ago that I called and spoke with the man at the top here and he promised me that this would NEVER happen.
If you have a phone, a computer or any form of communication at hand right now,
please do what ever you can to tell FFWS that this is complete insanity.
Just a short time ago this animal was listed as Endangered and now it is about to be hunted.
Below is the Bear Petition with more information.
Please think of one of the most beautiful creatures that God has ever made, lying dead on a road, only to be hauled off and dismembered, by someone who cares nothing for the beauty that it was/is, only the bragging rights for ending its life.

Walking with the Alligators 
Sad, sad news.
Anarette, you and I both know how beautiful these creatures are here in Florida.
It is unthinkable that they can do this and we have absolutely no say in it, just like the innocent bears who will die such horrible, violent deaths.
Is America still a land of Democracy??
It seems that we are sliding backwards instead of moving forward.
Yes, Anarette.
In more ways than much of the public will ever know!
This is the same thing that happens with the Wolves, when they start “misbehaving”, “boom!”, they have to be hunted down. Just how can a wild animal “behave”, this is the most poignant issue humans have to face when dealing with top predators. Humans want to be “nice”, but those top predators better don’t get too close!!!! What a disillusionment with homo sapiens….
It seems they are going to join the Coyote’s bounty hunt (as they do in Utah).
It is an ugly world that animals are now living in, God help them all.
If they do the culling, each bear will have a bounty, at least this what I know that happens with the coyotes.
Unspeakable Horror!
What should be done with law makers and heads of Government Agencies when they misbehave?
They’re usually the conservative sector which deal with the county’s public lands vs. private farm land which is usually the responsible for pushing the culling. Public lands vs. private farmland has always raised issues amongst conservationists and urbanization in general.
The culling of wildlife is always easier to deal with than rapid human population growth and urbanization….unfortunately.
It is so sad. Bears are iconic symbols of North America, such magnificent creatures. We have close to decimated the grizzly population. Sad.
Yes Cindy.
I had never seem a grizzly until I went to Yellowstone.
They are simply stunning!

Thank you so very, very much for sharing this Nancy!
Thank you so much Nancy!
You are very welcome Donna.
We must not let society stay deaf dumb and blind…..if we have a snowball’s chance in hell of saving any of these majestic animals!!

We grow more stupid, violent and intolerant by the day
You are so correct John.
The story is on the news right now and as always they are calling Bears a ” nuisance.”
The problem is with the people and their ignorant behavior that brings the Bears into harm’s way.
Signed and shared. And yes, they are trying to keep you from attending. It is the same as Congress voting themselves raises during secret night sessions–they know that’s the only way they can get it passed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and with those magnificent animals who have more sense than the human (?) butchers who think they rule the world. Human but not Humane, they should all be caged and put on display somewhere, threatened with open season on themselves if they carry thru on this bill. Sorry, I’m just fed up with the idiots who are killing Mother Earth and all that was put here for the human animal to use for good of mankind. Now we seem to have taken the human part out and have only the animal part left in so many of them, possibly myself included in times like this.
THANK YOU!!
So sad to see this, Donna – I remember you saying last year about the black bear ‘problem’. It is grotesque the way humans decide whether other species should live or die.
Thank you Peggy. You are a very kind soul.
Have you heard any feedback from Wednesday’s meeting yet, Donna?
The latest news is on today’s Blog posting. Thank you for asking about it~
Reblogged this on Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt for å såre i vrede For du skal ikke alene mer vandre. De skal klemme og kose og aldri klandre De skal skjerme deg for det du ikke selv ser. De skal elske og aldri forakte – bare hjelpe når du ber. Disse hendene skal jobbe for at dere skal få det godt De skal gi – og du skal takke for det du har fått. De skal tvinnes sammen i kjærlighet og være ømme og gode og et tegn på inderlighet Hendene du holder er sterke og unge De skal gjennom mye for din skyld når dagene er tunge De skal stryke og klemme og være gode og fromme De skal ruske i ditt hår og takke når dagen er omme Disse hendene skal følge deg gjennom livet. De skal holde fast ved deg og verne om samlivet De skal være hos deg når alle andre har gått De skal aldri slippe men holde fast og tørke tårer når du har grått. Hendene skal bære din ring med rette Den skal skinne og for alle berette Jeg elsker deg! – kan den bekjenne Det er bare en som har maken til denne En dag er hendene blitt ru og grå Hver fure og rynke forteller om livet som bak dere lå Dere kan minnes den dagen i dag – da et livslangt bånd Ble knyttet Og fra denne dag dere gikk Hånd i hånd..
Thank you so much for sharing this Lisa~
