I hope to God you both mixed up your medication this morning. To promote shooting cubs is beyond comprehention, if you honestly compare the wanten killing of a sow with cubs to hunting bears you just might be a candidate for the price is right. Can you imagine the day when you boss says hey your taxi just called and said your bear was done you can pick it up after work, but bring some help cause this aint going in the glovebox without help .
Sorry, but I actually would NOT shoot a 500lbs bear if it walked right in front of me! How do you like them bananas??? I would not eat bear meat, would not care to make a rug out of it, so why should I shoot one? I however have NO problem with anyone shooting whatever is legal to shoot if they so desire. As I said the states goal is to reduce the population so to do this they allow any size animal to be taken. If you are appalled by hunters killing certain animals, then you should probably give up hunting altogether.
