Target: Vermont Fish and Wildlife,
In Vermont, they allow hunters to use dogs to scare bears up trees to shoot bears out of trees. This is horrible, cruel, and cowardly. Bears have no other defense but to climb trees or try to attack without getting shot first. This archaic outdated way to kill any animal should be illegal and banned.
Also, today I see some man proud of himself for killing a 57lb cub. 57lbs! That’s simply just a baby. I didn’t stop to look at the photo but I saw enough that he had 3 bears in his truck, 2 small and 1 larger. For all I know it was probably a mama and her cubs. This should be illegal and banned immediately and that person should be arrested.
Please help us pass new laws in Vermont by signing this petition.
I own a dog rescue Pawsitive Connection, I volunteer for Defend Our Wildlife and I transport injured or Wildlife in need to local Wildlife rehabilitation organizations. I can’t sit by and watch this ignorant and inhumane “sport” any longer.
My husband is a hunter so I am not against hunting, he is humane and works hard to not make mistakes. He also uses every bit of the animal that he possibly can. It should also be illegal to hunt for no reason, just to kill. They think it’s sport. If someone is going to hunt it should be for food and to use the animal in a respectful manner.
