The second state-sanctioned bear hunt in New Jersey came to an end on Saturday the 9th of December. However opponents of the event state that they keep fighting to block the event in coming years.
Protesters have advised media outlets that they are not going anywhere anytime soon. The Animal Protection League of New Jersey and many other activist oppose this activity. The Department of Environmental Protection has planned to stage the hunt for the coming three years. Activists hope to shut the event down by continuing a court challenge.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife have devised a plan to reduce the black bear population in New Jersey. Currently there are 3,400 estimated bears in the region. Protesters believe that the hunts are "trophy hunts". This is when hunters kill animals for sport. However the Division of Fish and Wildlife claim they are only trying to protect the public by managing wildlife. Many New Jersey residents have experienced bears near their homes.
This explanation has not stopped activists from getting involved. In fact some have even traveled from areas like Manalapan to get to the protest. If activists want to successful in getting the event canceled they will need to raise public support. One of the simplest ways of doing this is using printing services to Print out Flyers. If protesters can get the support of New Jersey residents they may have a shot at protecting the black bear population of New Jersey.
