Help Save Florida's Black Bears

Posted by Valerie on 6/2/2025 to General

Parts of Florida are natural habitat for black bears but they were once nearly wiped out, with 300 bears being killed in 2015 during Florida's first bear hunt. It could happen again this year without your help. Your email to Florida's Governor and/or Wildlife Commission officials could make the difference between life and death for a bear. On behalf of all the Florida black bears, thanks for your help.

There's also a petition going around that I discovered in this article from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/03/florida-bear-hunt link to the petition itself: https://www.beardefenders.org
