I got this from NAHC News...What do you think is worse no bear hunt, the break-up of your Fish and Wildlife Comm. or give HSUS $95,000.


New Jersey Bill Would Ban Bear Hunting, Fund Anti’s

Sportsmen’s rights and scientific wildlife management would be dealt a damaging blow if New Jersey Assembly Bill 479 (AB 479) becomes law.

AB 479, sponsored by Assemblyman Christopher Bateman (R-NJ), would ban black bear hunting in New Jersey for five years, and would hand over $95,000 to the Humane Society of the United States, the nation’s largest animal-rights organization. Finally, AB 479 would strip wildlife management authority from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife by mandating that only the state’s Governor or the legislature can issue a permit to take a black bear.

New Jersey Sportsmen: Contact the state Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources at (609) 624-1222 or (609) 292-7676 to voice your opposition to AB 479.
