we really need to demand for the resignation of the DEP head CAMPBELL!!!!! he has just cancelled the bear hunting season. DO WE NEED TO SEE A CHILD GET HURT OR KILLED JUST BECAUSE HE WAS PART OF THE MCGREEDY WAY OF THINGS? if this happens they should hold him personaly responsible! as long as we keep building and ripping down the forest we need to at least manage the numbers and the future of NEW JERSEY black bear population. in case you dont know many of these bears dont even hibernate and have become garbage can raiders.the poulation has reached epic numbers. just set your scanners to the fish and game programs and you will hear how the bears are killing pets and live stock. they are breaking in homes and vehicles to get food.YOU CAN ONLY HAVE SO MANY ANIMALS FOR SO MUCH LAND!. WE HAVE CREATED THIS MESS AND AT LEAST WE CAN GIVE THE BEARS A LITTLE RESPECT BY MANAGING THE NUMBERS. it makes me sick when they have to put down a bear or when you see one hit by a vehicle. i would rather honor the bear on my wall and fill my freezer than see them just get thrown in a dump.
